In GTT, as part of our Samoan Language Week celebrations, students enjoyed making a traditional Samoan favourite β Chop Suey. This authentic cooking experience gave tamariki the opportunity to explore Samoan culture and learn about the island way of preparing and sharing food, where community and togetherness are at the heart of every meal.![]()
The Garden Group explored winter vegetables and discussed how seasonal produce can be grown and harvested, then the cooking group transformed fresh ingredients into a delicious Chop Suey. Students practised important kitchen skills such as safely slicing and dicing vegetables, measuring ingredients, following a recipe, and working collaboratively as a team, bringing the spirit of the islands into our classroom.

Our library provides a calm and inviting space for students to enjoy reading during lunchtime. Whether curled up with a favourite book, discovering a new author, or sharing stories with friends, students are developing a lifelong love of reading. These quiet reading opportunities help build literacy skills, expand vocabulary, spark imagination, and encourage a sense of curiosity. The library is a place where every book opens the door to a new adventure! πβ¨
