Kia Ora! Hobsonville Whanau, I am excited and honoured to be teaching 'Food Technology' to our Y7/8 tamariki this year.

Gardening and cooking have been a lifelong passion of mine and as a child I would often cook for my family and refine and improve my culinary creations and garden yields. Being involved with Garden To Table and Sustainability Programme at school has enabled me to share my passion and enthusiasm in this area in the hope our students become lifelong gardeners and cooks with a respect for sustainable practices.

In Food Technology I am excited to be teaching a variety of cooking skills along with sustainable practices that interweave with their Inquiry topics. Towards the end of the rotation, students will have the opportunity to plan/refine a menu and cook for a group of special quests. I look forward to working alongside our creative Y7/8s and making lifelong memories with them.
