Our whànau at Greta Point Active Explorers are always greeted with the smell of amazing cooking each morning.

Yesterday, our tamariki had homemade wholemeal matariki bread with cheesy homemade baked beans.

It smelt and tasted good!

All Jo's cooking meets the guidelines for GOLD healthy heart and her food is a big hit with our whànau, tamariki and staff.

Having a center that provides a full menu service, means less stress for whànau in the mornings (no lunch boxes!) it also means they are confident their tamariki are eating a diet that meets healthy heart guidelines.

It's is something we are very proud of here at Greta point.

Have we all enjoyed this short week??

It feels like the couriers are catching up too!

so while we have had many essential items (cleaning products, food and stationary) it's always a little exciting when new resources turn up too.

There are a lot of reasons to dig up a road, unfortunately! Here’s one of the less common belowground infrastructure renewals we do.

Digger Operator Layton is removing an old air valve block on the bulk water main running from Naenae Reservoir. The team put in a new, bigger air valve (replacing the one just visible in the wooden chamber) then constructed a new concrete chamber and manhole cover for better service and maintenance access.
