Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

Another wonderful week of learning here in Thorndon. 

Please keep our Year 7 and 8 students and their teachers in your prayers as they embark on the outdoors together. Thank you to our parent helpers who have given their time so generously to be up at Kaitoke for the week. I want to thank our school community as you all have embraced and supported our fundraising activities. Everything from market days to raffles to iceblocks. Thank you so much! "All of the children are all of ours". The power of collective fundraising takes the pain out of paying for camp.

Here are some images of our seniors having fun games at camp.

A welcome to Lwam who has started in Room 1. We are delighted that you are here with us at Sacred Heart Cathedral School. You will make wonderful lifelong friends.

The Lent season has flown by Palm Sunday next week. You are most welcome to join us for our Easter Liturgy on Holy Thursday at 9.30am in St Mary's College Hall. There will be limited parking available on the Sacred Heart Cathedral School courts. Please note that there is no parking at St Mary's College.

After-School Care Arrangements:

Please ensure you have after-school care arrangements for your child at the end of the school day. Please note that there is no supervision after school. We do have After School Care available which you can book your child at very short notice. The expectation from school is that if children are late being picked up they sit on the steps and wait for their parents.

Room 2 participated in Adoration last week.

We come in worship, we come in community, we come in expectant vulnerability. In peace, may we continue our Lenten journey from Lent into Holy Week. May worship be filled with a sense of wonder, a sense of fragile longing about the events to come, a sense of what it means to be part of our sacred humanity.

In the spirit of Jesus we pray.

Amen.

Have a wonderful week.
