Tutor judges youth art competition
The sun will be shining at the Wine & Food Festival at the Timaru Botanical Gardens this Saturday (6 Feb) regardless of the weather… well at least in the hospice tent which will be home to an exhibition of the Summer Time themed Youth Art Competition of paintings and drawings by local youth, judged by Aoraki Polytechnic Tutor and Artist Gail Tatham.
Gail said she was impressed with the quality of the entries, with entrants aged as young as eight, to seventeen.
This year is the first year the competition has been held, and Gail said it was a good opportunity for the Polytechnic to support this event.

Local teachers sharpen up at Aoraki
Secondary school teachers spent part of their holiday ‘up-skilling’ with the Hotel School tutors at the Timaru campus on Thursday (28 Jan). Chef tutor Jill Milburn spent a morning teaching the teachers the finer points of knife sharpening and knife handling, accumulating a selection of delicious salads and a feisty vegetable soup for them to take away. The afternoon was spent in the coffee room with Front of House tutor Adrian Hilhorst, learning the points of producing good espresso, latte and cappuccino.
