Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

Fancy Feet - What a wonderful celebration we had for Fancy Feet Day, the footwear was amazing!

Today, we had many families come and visit our school with the view of joining our school community. It was a super busy morning. What heartened me was our student tour guides who talked so confidently about the learning and experiences that happen at our school with absolute ease. I was very proud of all our students as they were all so warm and welcoming and of course in typical Sacred Heart Cathedral School style focussed on their learning in the classroom.

Last week, our students welcomed some Principals to our school as well as staff from the Maōri Achievement Collaborative. Sue and I shared our journey and the sorts of activities we have been doing with our students (including the movie of narratives from our local area) which was all warmly received.

This week we have been focused on supporting our student leaders. Several attended the Grip conference yesterday at Pipitea Marae and tomorrow we have Kitty for Challenge 2000 who will be working with our Liturgy leaders.

Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any concerns about learning.

From a very proud Principal who is feeling very blessed to be part of this wonderful school, thank you staff, thank you students, and thank you whānau.

Peace and love to you all during this time of Lent.
