The Board are planning on introducing a uniform, the polo shirt pictured combined with plain black pants (can be any style: shorts, skirts, track suit pants, leggings).
The plan is to introduce this slowly, starting Term 1 2027 but not fully required until 2028. The aim is to make it very cost effective.

At Garden to Table Kitchen, the seniors in Whai and Pipi classes have been busy building their kitchen skills and working towards earning their kitchen licences! These licences help students learn how to use kitchen equipment safely and confidently.
Some of the licences include everyday kitchen jobs like washing and drying dishes, using a box grater, measuring ingredients, and practising knife skills.
It would be great for the children to have opportunities to practise these skills at home too. Cooking and preparing food together as a family is a wonderful way to build confidence, independence, empathy, and self-esteem — and it can be lots of fun as well!
