Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

A special welcome to Menahri, who started at our school last Thursday, in Room 1. You are going to have a wonderful time at our school and will make lifelong friends.

Congratulations to all those students who are participating in the Sacramental Programme. Reiss (Rm 7) and Alex (Rm 9), made their First Reconciliation at Sacred Heart Petone.

Last Sunday, a large group made their First Holy Communion as part of the Cathedral Parish:  Allegra (Rm 6), Antonio (Rm 10), Archie (Rm 5), Dana (Rm 7), Xavier S (Rm 5), Henry (Rm 5), Jackson (Rm 5), Jaylen (Rm 9), Jaynelle (Rm 5), Lana (Rm 5), Lucas D (Rm 8), Lyla (Rm 5), Milford (Rm 5), RJ (Rm 9), Ryan J (Rm 5), Thomas (Rm 6) and Violet (Rm 5). Please keep them, their families and those who support them in your prayers as they continue deeping their relationship with Jesus through the reception of the sacraments.

Philippine Independence Day - Monday, 12th June:

Our Filipino students came to school on Monday dressed in their traditional/cultural outfits to celebrate Philippine Independence Day. They looked stunning!

On the 26th and 27th June (Monday and Tuesday), you will have an opportunity to talk with your child's teacher to discuss about their learning. To book an appointment, please click on the link - School Interviews to make a booking then enter the code zdfa5 and follow the prompts.

We have had new outdoor panels installed representing each of the stars of Matariki. They look fabulous and we plan to use them as a resource to empower our students about the meaning behind each star.

Have a great week, keep warm, keep dry, and keep safe

Arohanui,
