Weekly Update from Bernadette Murfitt
Kia ora koutou e te whānau,
Thank you very much for all your support and attention to detail on Monday when the Ministry of Education put our school into Lockdown. Please note that our processes went to plan while I was taking the call from the Ministry of Education, our bell rung to end the day. So, it really was all systems go. The staff and students were just incredible. Please note when there is an emergency that I will communicate with our school whānau through email and our school app. Please make sure that you have solid arrangements for your care after school as we have no playground supervision after 3 pm.
Congratulations to Tian (Rm 9) who received the Sacrament Of Baptism from Pa Gerry last Wednesday in the Connolly Hall Chapel with his whānau and his class. This was such a beautiful occasion. Tian may you continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Jaco, for starting work on painting our Pasifika mural.
The Middle Syndicate had a fantastic end of year Fun Day on Tuesday at Akau Tangi Sports Centre. Students played touchball, floorball, and then the fun of the big inflatables. A big thank you to the parents that supported us on this.
This Sunday is the Second Sunday of Advent.
Loving God, we see the beauty of your creation. We pray that you grant us the space to recognise the sacredness of the earth around us and that we may grow deeper in our respect and care for our common home.
Have a wonderful week - we are most certainly making the most of our students who won't be with us next year.
Keep your eye on the school calendar as we almost have something on at school every day.
Kia ū ki te pai, kia whai hua ai.
Hold on to what is good and good things will follow.
Arohanui,
Bernadette Murfitt
