Weekly Update from Bernadette Murfitt

Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.

Lent is a special time when we look to God for forgiveness and reconciliation. It’s time for us to think about how we can grow more loving by following Jesus’ way. A time when we try to do our best and live as God would want us to live. We had a very special Liturgy today where we reflected on how we can do better.

Welcome to Nayla who has started in Room 1. We are so delighted that you are with us here at Sacred Heart Cathedral School. You will make wonderful lifelong friends. A very special welcome to your whānau as well.

Commissioning Mass at St Mary's of the Angels.

On Monday evening, all of the Catholic Schools gathered together with Bishop Paul and Father Patrick to celebrate being part of our wonderful network.

Congratulations to Sarah Maresca who was presented at the Commissioning Mass with a certificate of Leadership Level in the teaching of Religious Education.

Xin Nian Kuai Le! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Zhu Nian Da Ji! Happy Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year. A time to give thanks and celebrate but also to acknowledge the tremendous contribution our Chinese community makes to Aotearoa New Zealand.

Thank you so much for your generous donations that allow us to provide a rich curriculum, packed with valuable trips and experiences. For the next two weeks, the children will be exploring a wide range of dance moves which we will share with you on the 1st March here at school at our special dance concert. (Pop this date in your calendar now an event not to be missed.)

Have a wonderful week. If you have any issues regarding your child and their learning. Please reach out to your child's teacher.

Looking forward to seeing you all at Beach Day this Friday.

Arohanui,
