We're pleased to announce that today our doors are open again at 10am and we're looking forward to welcoming you back!

As you will expect, we’ll be implementing a lot of procedures to keep you, our communities and our people safe. We have introduced contact tracing, increased cleaning, hand sanitisers and ways to help with social distancing.

We're also excited to announce that the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition will be open, as we’ve been able to extend it for a limited time. Weird and Wonderful, the Volcanoes Gallery and the Kai Room, unfortunately, won’t be opening for the time being as they are high touch spaces.

Please take a quick look at our website before you visit to help plan your trip.

See you soon!

This is an easy recipe that transforms backyard fruits into a tasty treat

Ingredients
220gm caster sugar
220gm butter
Zest of 1 lemon or Lime or both
300ml (about 6 lemons and or Limes)
6 eggs beaten lightly with a whisk

Method
Place sugar, butter, lemon zest and juice in a heat resistant bowl and place over a pot of water on medium heat (like a double boiler)
Heat and stir with a wooden spoon till butter has melted. Take off heat and strain eggs into mixture.
Return to heat with a thermometer attached and cook, stirring constantly, until temperature reaches 75 deg C.
If you don’t have a temperature gauge cook through until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from the heat and stir to prevent mixture overheating at base and egg from curdling.
Pour into hot sterilized jars while still hot or enjoy straight away, adding the curd to your favourite dessert or ice cream or morning tea treat or on toast or in a banana smoothie and so on.
You can get creative with this tasty treat.

Bon appetite

Term Two Registration

Hi Team

I hope all of you are well and the first week back at school is off to a good start.

Now that we are in Alert Level 2 we can resume our Thursday junior golf classes from 4.30pm - 5.30pm from next week (28th May) and here's what you need to know:

The full price for six weeks of coaching in Term 2 is $180 for those who would like to join golf classes now.

Health and Safety

Health and safety is the top priority and the lessons will run practicing physical distancing from one another.

You will be required to bring your own golf clubs to avoid touching shared surfaces (note if you are looking to purchase golf clubs I can help provide a good rate of $40 per club through the Pro Shop).

If you are interested in registering your child for the program please let me know by emailing me. If interest is high I may start a Tuesday 4:30pm-5:30pm class also.

Regards

Ben
