Meet Derek Ereatara who shares his journey with Awanuiārangi.
The Bachelor of Humanities programme marked a turning point in Derek’s life. “The content – indigenous studies, policy and business – fit right in with what I wanted. I knew it would help me personally and in my work with whānau in the health sector.
“It helped me to think differently, that opens up your world view.” he says.
Looking at everything with fresh eyes “shifted, enhanced and reinforced” his focus, particularly in working with rangatahi who need one-to-one support.
“Awanuiārangi was like a second home, and still is. You just feel welcome.

A BIT ABOUT US
We're the most affordable and serene Pet Stay in Auckland, offering a number of affordable solutions, whether you are looking at a day stay or for long term boarding when you are away.
Fairfield Pet Lodge (FPL) is family owned and operated and has been in the Taljaard family (Anton, Crisna and Ashlee) ownership for the past six years, but the facility was established in approximately 1978! FPL is situated on a lifestyle block of 5 stunning hectares including lush paddocks, large gardens and mature trees, located about 7.5km from Clevdon and just under 40km from Auckland airport.
Anton has an abundance of experience with animals, serving 12 years as a dog handler in the South African Police Service, shortly after arriving to NZ he volunteered his services at the SPCA in Mangere. He also holds severage degrees in business and management. Therefore, it's no surprise that managing FPL is based on modern and sustainable practises. hence the slogan "We do not follow we lead" holds true for FPL

Join along with Greg in the video below and make the whole family happy with this delicious treat. ✨ #teammichaelellse #quarantinecooking
Ingredients:
Oil for Greasing
225 grams dark plain chocolate
150 grams caster sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon instant coffee
4 ½ tablespoons water
Icing sugar
300 ml double cream
Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees. Cut a sheet of greaseproof paper big enough to line and stand above the rim of the tin. Fold the paper to fit the corners, fit it into the tin and grease very lightly with oil.
2. Separate the eggs. Yolks in one large bowl and whites in another.
3. Tip the caster sugar in with the yolks. Whisk together till light and pale using an electric or hand whisk.
4. Break the chocolate into a heavy bottomed pan. Add water and coffee granules.
5. Put pan on a very low heat and stir gently till creamy and melted.
6. Fold the melted chocolate into the mousse.
7. Whisk the egg whites till well frothy and almost stiff. Fold gently into the chocolate mix.
8. Pour the mis into the tin. Cook for 12-14 minutes – roulade should look browned and may be cracked on top. Leave to cool once finished cooking.
9. Whisk the double cream till softly firm. Smooth it over the roulade.
10. Lift the short end and roll it up away from you. Peel off the baking paper as you roll and lift onto a plate once rolled.
11. Sprinkle with sifted icing sugar.A.
