Aorere students cooking up success

Level 3 Hospitality students went out to MIT recently for the Secondary School Cooking competition. Eight students were entered in for this competition and it was a very proud moment for Aorere College to have Toaila Mafileo be awarded with gold with distinction for her barista skills. She had 100/100 marks. 

Nisheel Prakash was awarded gold for his pasta dish. Judges were amazed with his flavours and ability to meet the brief perfectly. 

John Koronui had a silver award for his smoothie competition and Zhanice Kohunui also had a silver for her kiwiana biscuits.
 
Saunabh Prasad was awarded bronze for his innovative wrap and Maya Vikita also had a bronze for her Quiche. Silia Moala and Shiwanjini Chand received certificates of Merit for their cakes. 

Congratulations to our awesome students!

AO student speaking out

Kaushal Prasad came 2nd in the Lions Auckland Regional Speech Competitions  at Papakura.

She needed to give two speeches:  one a strictly timed 6 minutes speech followed by an impromptu speech with just one minute to prepare it.

Schools represented came from Warkworth to Thames. 

Our students caring for the environment

Fili Fepulea'i-Tapua'i, Ilaisaane Kolomatangi, and Metuisela Ngata (11PO) attended a zero carbon bill consultation held by the Sir Peter Blake Trust at NIWA. The students shared their thoughts on the bill proposed by the Government. The students confidently voiced their opinions about how the law would affect the South Auckland community, and also the importance of doing our part for our neighbours in the Pacific. Nice work! 

Trees for Survival

10SV have continued to learn and promote Aorere College through being involved in the Trees for Survival programme. Trees for Survival is an environmental education programme which involves young people growing and planting native trees to restore natural habitats by helping landowners revegetate erosion prone land, improve stream flow and water quality and increase biodiversity.
