This Weeks Menus
Kia Ora Wellington whanau!
At Greta point, we are fortunate enough to have Jo who is one of our amazing team members. She looks after all of us and is really the best cook.
During the Lock down, each week Jo has been sharing with our Greta Point whanau some of the recipes she makes at the center which are firm tamariki favourites!
Attached is a message from Jo along with 4 things we can try at home for something different to eat. (my firm favourite is homemade crumpets!).
Hi Friends and Whanau,
How are you doing, going crazy like me? I can’t wait to get back to work and seeing all your lovely children.
Now down to business, I have found some new recipes, I have tried the home-made crumpets (yum), the carrot bliss balls sounded interesting plus I have included savoury muffins.
If you try these recipes please let me know how it went!
Here’s a new recipe I found quite interesting:
1 medium banana
1/2 cup rolled oats
40g choc chips
Mash banana, add oats and choc chips, roll into balls, bake 180 for
10-15 minutes.
Have a Great week.
Stay safe, Kia kaha.
Jo and the Greta Point team

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
