Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

Congratulations to the following students who were confirmed on Sunday by Bishop Paul at St Mary's of the Angels - Xavier, Xaviera, Anya, Sophia D, Sophia W, Shenaya, Lana, Shaun, Dominic, Dana and Kundiso. It was wonderful to see the range of Saints the children had chosen for their Confirmation name.

We had a wonderful "Thank You Morning Tea" last Thursday to thank all the wonderful people who are a part of our amazing school. Our students honored the wide range of people who support the smooth running of our school.

Congratulations to Hannah who was acknowledged by the New Zealand Education Institute as completing two full years of teaching. Hannah is now a fully registered teacher. A beautiful pounamu was given to Hannah on behalf of our school community. Staff sang Hannah 'Ko Waiata' as a recognition of Mary the mother of Jesus and her accepting the role of mother of future generations. We wanted Hannah to remember the treasure of the people associated with Sacred Heart Cathedral School.

Have a wonderful week.
