Check out these amazing creations from our Food Tech extension class! 🌮✨🥑
On Friday, the kids took over the kitchen for a full Mexican Fiesta! 🇲🇽🔥 They got complete creative freedom to build their own dishes—from custom tacos 🌮 and crispy quesadillas 🧀 to stacked burritos 🌯 and loaded nachos 🧀🌶️. It was awesome to see them put their own unique spin and Mexican flair on every plate! 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳🎉
Here are a few highlights of our chef-level masterpieces! 👇📷✨

Tu meke, Mrs Davidson! Massive congratulations 🙌

What a comeback! 🏀🏆

Congratulations to Coach Bronwen Davidson and our Premier Basketball team on securing the Auckland Secondary Schools Championship title with a thrilling 63–60 victory over St Kent’s.

Overcoming a 17-point deficit, the team displayed exceptional resilience and composure, levelling the score in the final three minutes to complete a remarkable comeback. It was fantastic to have Tall Fern Imani Rasmussen back on court with an impactful performance after returning directly from pre-Olympic qualifiers in Mexico.

Thank you to the coaches, support staff, families, and community who backed the team every step of the way. A hard-fought, well-deserved, and unforgettable victory!
