Thursday November 24 2022 3 Talented young cook among three to receive top award AN ASPIRING young cook from Hillmorton High School has taken out a prestigious award. Tyler Spatcher-Harrison was among three students who have received the Prime Ministers Vocational Excellence Award. The award was launched in 2019 to celebrate the top highschool students enrolled in vocational study, with a $2000 monetary prize. Along with fellow awardwinners Zane Roberts from Shirley Boys’ High School and Adam Barker from Lincoln High School, Tyler has juggled school this year with two days a week at Ara – Te Pūkenga. He has been studying cookery level three at Ara’s department of hospitality, business and service industries. “New stuff like knife skills and learning about different food has been great,” Tyler said. “I’m doing level four next year and my award will help pay for level five after that.” Tyler found his love of cooking through his dad and said he was glad he grabbed the chance to do the level three course. Tutor Arnya Watson said the award is a wonderful bonus for the students, who have gone above and beyond. OUTSTANDING: Tutor Arnya Watson with Prime Ministers Vocational Excellence Award recipients Zane Roberts (Shirley Boys’ High School), Adam Barker (Lincoln High School) and Tyler Spatcher-Harrison. (Hillmorton High School). “They’re my high achievers. They’ve worked hard out of class to practise and do extra competitions. Anything that was available to do, they pushed themselves. “I still can’t believe we had three in one class though.” Most of her class of 2022 are planning to come back to Ara, which Watson said demonstrates how the supportive approach to learning gives students a firm pathway to staying in education. And because the level three course is managed through school, there is an impact on their fees-free first year of tertiary study. Watson said it was rewarding helping students find where their future lies. “They get a lot out of their experience as they seek work. Instead of having to be shown everything they’ve already got skills – they know about clean workspaces and food safety, so it gives them a head start.” Gala day spiced up by weather LAST SATURDAY recorded over a month’s worth of rain in a morning, but it did not stop the Phillipstown community market and gala day from taking place. Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust manager Viviana Zanetti said the event ‘Spice of Life’ was different from what had been planned due to the extreme weather conditions. The stalls were set up inside Viviana Zanetti some of the classrooms that were once home to the Phillipstown Primary School, instead of using outdoor areas. Some music entertainment and stone carving activities were also cancelled. However, Zanetti said the initial disappointment and frustration turned into a sort of satisfaction at the end. “Different doesn’t necessarily mean bad. “The feedback was all positive: despite the weather, everybody had a good time, connected, learned something new and found a bargain.” Food from various countries was sold at the event, including Brazil, Somalia, Philippines, Bangladesh and Indonesia. summer is nearly here 03 322 4548 | Easy Parking 17 Lillian Street, Halswell www.maxwellfashion.co.nz Open Mon-Fri 9.30am - 5.00pm Saturday 10.00am - 1.00pm Check out our facebook page LAYBY WELCOME Introducing Mark Sinclair Mark lives and works locally, he is passionate about working with South Christchurch and Canterbury businesses offering print and digital media solutions to help promote their companies products and services in the local Southern View and Star Media publications.
