Our School Cookbook The PTA have decided that one of our big fundraising projects for this year will be a school cookbook. We have a small team from the PTA spearheading this and doing most of the work but WE NEED YOUR HELP to get started...then it’s up to us.
Cookbook title competition:
Recipes needed now:
We would love to receive your favourite family and special recipes. We will be sorting these into sections and we may have to cull where there are double ups etc so please don't be offended if your recipe doesn't make it into the final version. We need lunchbox ideas, breakfast and brunch yummies, mains, picnic foods, desserts, starters and nibbles…any recipe that you think would suit a busy family. To register and send us your recipe please use this link School Cookbook Recipes. We want you to get these in as soon as possible, so we can sort and decide what sections to include in our cookbook, and identify the areas where we need more recipes. So start now! We would like the cookbook form completed by the 12th of March. Copyright:
Please be aware that we need to stay clear of any copyright issues. Recipes that are not subject to copyright include: family recipes, recipes that have been adapted/changed and have not simply been copied and recipes that lack originality – think cheese scones recipe. Add your own flair or send us a recipe that has passed through the generations and is written in Granny’s handwriting somewhere. We have added a statement to the Google Form where you are asked to declare that your recipe does not breach any copyright rules.
Photographer:
We are looking for a photographer to support this project. If you are interested in being involved please contact Wendy wendyb@wanaka.school.nz That’s all you need to do - the rest is up to us. Our timeline is that recipes to be included in the book will be finalised by the end of term 1. The photographer and design team get into action to do photos, layout etc. and so the draft book is ready for printing by the end of term 2 and we have a prototype ready for pre-orders at Friday Night Lights. We hope to sell a few as Xmas presents. Watch this space for opportunities for your business to support this project. All funds raised from the cookbook will be used to purchase equipment, tools and resources for the Maker Spaces (to be built onto the back of each pod) that will hopefully be up and running by the end of the year using funds from the MoE we are entitled to through an innovation fund. We saw so much wonderful cooking, construction, building, making, designing, sewing, electronics etc. being done over lockdown it will be exciting to have a space that is dedicated to the children applying their learnings and creating a masterpiece across all curriculum areas. We will need building tables and tools, IT equipment (a 3D printer would be great), sewing machines, cooking equipment, electronic sets and tools, materials such as wood, plastic, and tools like drills, hammers and saws and bits and bobs such as nails, screws, pins etc. We also need to have a robust storage system that can be built into the Maker Space so children know where to go to grab a tool and of course where to put it back..
