The three-course menu includes a fish dish, involving the filleting of a fish, freshly made ribbon pasta and dessert - all with a Mediterranean theme. Take a look at this week's impressive efforts enjoyed by the Advanced students. They then serve the meal for their own guest and also get to sit down and eat with them.
Here are some photos of the creative dishes prepared for the Mediterranean Luncheon.

Construction has started on the bike path which winds its way through the inner city's Viaduct area, connecting the Nelson St and Quay St cycle ways.
More loading zones, pedestrian crossing points and a one-way system will also form part of the trial which encompasses Market Place, part of Customs St West and lower Hobson St.
The bike path will open in stages and is expected to be fully open by the middle of May.
It is among more than 20 designs planned for Auckland through Project WAVE, funded by Waka Kotahi NZTA's Innovating Streets for People pilot fund, to boost people-friendly spaces.
Waitemata Local Board chairman Richard Northey said Project WAVE would provide a key missing link for people on bikes.
"It will now be possible for people on bikes and scooters to get from Karangahape Rd and the Northwestern Cycleway directly, all the way down to Quay St, the Viaduct and Britomart on a protected cycleway," he said.
"That is a huge positive and will encourage more people to jump on a bike, knowing their journey will be a safe one."
Auckland Transport will monitor the project during the trial and call for community feedback.

I no longer need this mattress . It comes from a smoke free home and was always used with a mattress protector. There is a faint coffee stain in one corner . You will need to pick it up from Hillsborough.

Our cows live on lush pastures in Selwyn, Canterbury that is sustainably and naturally farmed, because we know happy cows make the best A2 milk.
Bring the clink of glass milk bottles back to your doorstep with fresh, delicious A2 milk delivered direct to your door – just like the way milk was.
There was a florist next to Lynfield countdown, I belive they moved somewhere at Lynfield.

What's the transtasman bubble?
==========================
It's two-way quarantine-free commercial flights - also known as "green" flights - between New Zealand and all states and territories of Australia, and it starts at 11.59pm tomorrow. It's also just the second travel bubble in the world, after Taiwan and Palau, between countries still committed to keeping Covid-19 out.
Sweet. Who's my ride?
===================
Air New Zealand, Qantas and Jetstar are the only airlines flying the route at this stage. Virgin Australia says it will stay away until October 31.
How much?
==========
An Air New Zealand return flight to Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne out of Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch leaving May 1 and returning a week later will cost - including stowed luggage - between $643 and $717 per person. An Auckland to Perth return flight with the national carrier is $1179 on the same dates. Qantas flights between the three main cities in each country are similar prices: Auckland to Melbourne is $677 return and the same flights from Christchurch are $932. Low-cost carrier Jetstar charges slightly less than the major airlines: A return flight between Auckland and Sydney is $634, including stowed baggage.
Booked. Now what?
=================
Just in case it hasn't sunk in over the past 13 months, if you feel unwell, stay at home and seek advice from Healthline on 0800 611 116.
Australia-bound passengers must complete the online Australia Travel Declaration at least 72 hours before departure, where you'll be expected to provide contact details and answer questions about your health and whether you've spent time outside New Zealand in the previous 14 days.
The declaration will need to be presented at check-in. You should also bring evidence of any pre-existing conditions, such as hay fever, when you check in, to avoid being denied boarding. Also, check conditions of your travel insurance with regards to being denied boarding because of Covid-19. On your return to New Zealand you'll also have to meet conditions such as having only been in a country that's been designated as a quarantine-free place, and not tested positive - or awaiting a test result - for Covid-19, in the past 14 days. You'll also have to complete a travel declaration at the time of booking your flight, and a health declaration at check-in.
Anything else I can expect at the airport?
==================================
Health professionals may be stationed at airports to do random temperature checks and health assessments of travellers. You also won't come into contact with travellers from other countries.
To mask or not to mask?
====================
Mask.
Unless you're exempt, you'll be expected to wear a face mask while crossing the Tasman. One will be provided by the airline if you don't have one. You should also wear your mask while inside airports in New Zealand and Australia.
Do I need to get a Covid-19 test before my flight?
=======================================
If you're well and haven't potentially been exposed to Covid-19, no, you don't need a negative Covid-19 pre-departure test to travel to Australia on a quarantine-free flight. Australia has sometimes introduced requirements for testing on arrival for people from New Zealand, so keep an eye on the requirement of the state you're arriving in - covid19.govt.nz has links to state and territory travel information. I haven't received my Covid-19 vaccination yet - can I still travel to Australia?
================================================
Yes.
What if there's an outbreak of Covid-19 which sparks a lockdown or halts quarantine-free travel while I'm in Australia?
===============================================
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been quite clear on this: Transtasman travel is at your own risk. It's your responsibility to manage any travel disruption related to Covid-19, and pay any associated costs. This could include, if the Covid-19 situation changes in Australia, entering managed isolation or self-isolation when you return to New Zealand. If so, you will need to pay for your stay, with applications to waive payments considered on a case-by-case basis. If you need to travel to New Zealand urgently, you can apply for an emergency allocation. If you find yourself in lockdown while away from New Zealand, follow the instructions of local authorities.

Nomination Quote - Jazz and his family - Bossman Dairy - Creagh St Store
"Every member of this family who serves in the shop are very friendly, helpful and always smiling. They get to know all their customers and I have never walked into a shop that makes you feel so welcome. During our first lockdown for Covid, they put food such as milk, bread, out for people who may need it free of charge."
