Principal’s Message

Kia ora

We have  just completed a very busy but successful week with our Year 5 and 6 students away at camp at El Rancho. For many of our students it was a week of firsts; first time kayaking, first time rock climbing, first time away from home and for some even the first time doing the dishes!

Back from camp but an equally busy week this week, we have students out today with the Homework Club trip to the zoo. Next week we have another pepeha trip and our Year 5 and 6 also have bike skills with “Pedal Ready”

Now we are into the warmer weather, fingers crossed, we do ask that all students have a hat or cap, something with a good brim to keep them sun safe.

CARE Values

 

“Ia mau pea le to’ovae

This is a Samoan proverb that embodies our CARE value of endurance. It translates as “Hold fast onto patience”.

We encourage students to demonstrate endurance by seeing tasks through to the end, not giving up or leaving things half finished and planning for the long term not just short term.

 

No Toys Please

We ask for parent support in making sure children do not bring toys, cards or make up to school. There are always issues over lost or damaged “treasures”. Often items are shared or gifted to others and then there are arguments over who it realy belongs to. And we seem to currently have a number of girls bringing lip gloss which has the added health issue of sharing lip sticks.

We ask that the only things children bring are possibly a lunch box, water bottle and hat.

Garden to Table

Cheese and vegetable Muffins

Dry Ingredients

2 cups Self Raising Flour

½  teaspoon baking powder

½  teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoons vegetable stock powder or salt

Wet Ingredients

1 ¼ cup milk

1 Tsb white vinegar

60ml oil

1 egg 

Other Ingredients

1 cup chopped vegetables

(eg. spinach, silverbeet, grated carrots, cubed capsicum, sliced red onion or leftover cooked vegetables)

200g Tasty Cheese (grated)

How to make it

Preheat oven to 180C

Brush a 12-hole, standard muffin tin with oil or line with paper muffin cups.

Grate the cheese and chop/slice the vegetables into small pieces 

Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, garlic powder and vegetable powder.  Whisk to combine and make a well in the middle.

Wet Ingredients:  Measure the 1 ¼ milk and pour in 1 Tsb of white vinegar and leave aside (5-10 minutes) [This will turn to Homemade Buttermilk].   In a bowl, beat the oil and egg together.

Now pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, stir the wet and dry ingredients until the flour is incorporated (stir about 10 times).

Fold in the chopped vegetables and cheese.  Scoop batter into muffin tin, filling it to ⅔ full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Allow it to cool for a few minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool.
