Condolences, love and thoughts to the

Haewera whānau

It was with great sadness and very heavy

hearts that we learnt of Kaleb’s passing. He

was a much loved and respected GBHS student and we missed him

and brothers Eli and Noah so much when they moved back to

Wellington. I have been hearing much talk of Kaleb’s

courageousness, his great sense of humour, his desire to learn and

his special kindness to others. What a fine young man! May he rest

in peace. We are all thinking of and send our Aroha to Kane, Kylie,

Noah and Eli at this most difficult time.

What will Level 2 look like?

GBHS Level 2 will not look like GBHS pre-Covid 19, in many ways.

Health and safety of students and staff will be our primary

consideration. There will be a transition period for us all, and our

intention is to ensure we set systems and processes up well to

support students and staff in moving back to a face to face

environment.

It will be hard for students not to hug and touch each other.

Although there is no longer a strict 1m distancing rule, we are

asked to try to achieve it as best we can. It would be helpful if you

could talk to your students about this.

We received a huge amount of information from the MoE

yesterday, and will be working through the planning over the next

days.

I know that many of our NCEA students are concerned about their

progress. My message to students remains the same. Do what you

can, please don’t worry, and we will work with you on a plan to

help you achieve your goals.

When will we move to Level 2 and when will school return?

This will, of course, be determined by the Goverment. We will keep

all informed as soon as we know what it will mean for GBHS.

At this stage the earliest possible return date is Monday 18th May.

We envisage all students returning on that day.

I am going to delay my usual Friday email home until tomorrow, as

I think it will be of more use if I have progress with Level 2 planning

a little.

Stay safe, stay in your Level 3 bubble and lets all do our bit to

support a move to Level 2.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL, L INDA TAME 8 MAY 2020

SPECIAL COVID 19 LEVEL 3 EDITION

ANZAC DAWN 2020 - in LOCKDOWN

Inky dark silence

Vast sky

Starry, starry night

Autumn leaves rustle underfoot

Southern Cross glows above

But not for them

Lest we forget

Boy-teenagers and men left in northern soils

No pukeko shriek or call of the tui at dawn

for them

Whirr of the ruru

Souls of the Dead

Lest we forget

Arched arrow of shooting star

We will remember them

Zephyr breeze stirs kanuka

Rooster, tui, weka awaken and greet the

dawn

Their peaceful land now ours.

Not in vain

Lest we forget

Some of our students have been showing their skills and delighting their whanau by making the most delicious food over this time. It has been an absolute delight receiving the photographs and comments from both students and parents about what their sons and daughters have been making.

Thanks to all of you who have supported your sons and daughters by allowing them to take over your kitchens to produce their creations. I really hope it has been a worthwhile and productive time.

Overview: The year 8 class have been sent a booklet with cheap meals for families and I am hoping they have been able to make one or two things. They have also been sent the Shepherds Pie recipe that we normally make at school as a way to assess their timeliness and food safety knowledge. It was great to get the parents feedback on their successes.

The year 9 class have the same recipe book with the meals for the whanau plus recipes and challenges for Hot Cross Buns and Healthy Hamburgers. Some students have gone the whole distance by making their own bread rolls, patties, sauces and mayonnaise. Well done and thanks for sharing your photos; also for the comments the parents have shared. Year 10 were sent a challenge where they were to make a meal for their families for less than $15 explaining how they could save money by using food from the garden, buying specials, making

their own staple products like bread etc. The meal had to contain a protein food, a starchy food and at least 3 vegetables. They also have the Hot Cross Bun recipe, a Calzone recipe and most recently a Simple Curry with Flatbread recipe.

Year 11 Hospitality students have made all sorts of food that will allow them to move forward with their Hospitality NCEA programme; Soups, scones, cakes, egg dishes and cheese dishes.

Some students have really excelled and produced amazing results plus they have been working on assignments relating to Soups, Egg and Cheese and most recently Baking. Awesome work Year 11.

Finally, the Year 12 Hospitality class have really upped the ante with their creations. Our focus has been on Grilling, Salads and now Baking. Their assignments as you would expect have been more challenging and it has been great to see the effort some have gone to. Thanks Year 12. We have also had outstanding video footage from Abbie and excellent photos of the processes involved in making bread from others. The cakes, dumplings, kebabs and pastries all look fabulous. Keep up the excellent work everyone. Parents, please feel free to contact me at any time if you need questions answered and students, Pai Mahi everyone, I can’t wait to see you again at school in the kitchen. Nga mihi, Mrs A

You have to alter the recipe to make 8 servings

White sugar ¼ a cup of white sugar will make 2 servings

Cocoa The amount of sugar is four times larger than the amount of cocoa.

Eggs 1 egg will make 4 servings

Flour (sifted) The amount of flour needed is halfway between the amount

of white sugar and the amount of cocoa

Baking powder (sifted) Equal to the amount of vanilla essence

Salt 1 cup of salt will make it far too salty. 1 tsp of salt will make it twice as
