Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

As we prepare to celebrate Easter, let us take a moment to offer a prayer for our families and loved ones:

Heavenly Father, We come before you with grateful hearts, thanking you for the gift of our families. As we celebrate the resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ, we ask that you fill our homes with your love and peace. May our conversations be filled with joy and laughter, and may we create lasting memories that will bring us closer together.

We pray for those who are unable to be with their families this Easter, that they may feel your presence and know that they are loved. We also remember those who are struggling, and ask that you bring them comfort and peace.

We thank you for the gift of your Son, who died and rose again so that we may have eternal life. May we never take this gift for granted, but instead seek to live our lives in a way that honors and glorifies you.

We pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Congratulations to Kate and Mike Woodbury, whose eldest son, Jack was married in the weekend. By all accounts, it was a beautiful day had by all and the cloudy day did not dampen celebrations.

Cultural Day - Shared Morning Tea:

Our cultural day was a huge success with our students. They all took advantage of trying out new foods during the shared morning tea. A BIG THANK YOU to our parents for providing our students with such delicious food to share!

May this Easter be a time of renewal and blessings for you and your family.

Have a wonderful term break and we look forward to an action-packed term 2-2023.

Arohanui,
