Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

We have had an amazing first week back. Thank you so much for all your support with our Readathon. As a staff, we really wanted to get all of our students to engage more with books and reading. This initiative has certainly kick-started the desire to pick up a book. We have a superb range of giveaways so get signed up and be a part of it.

Our Cathedral will open in early June. We are looking forward to being able to gather together as a community to worship. On Sunday, 9th June, the Parish will celebrate a homecoming at the 10:00am Mass. This will be followed by brunch. You are all welcome to attend and be a part of this very special occasion.

This week, we have welcomed Zita Smith from the Archdiocese of Wellington and her team Anna-Maria and Sue, who are reviewing the Special Character at our school. The team spoke with staff, students, trustees and whānau as well as completing observations classrooms during the teaching of Religious Education sessions and during prayer times.

Read-a-thon - Well done Kaatia (Room 5) for getting a few minutes reading in before the netball game. Such a great way to get your daily minutes in.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mums, grandmothers, aunties and significant women in our children's lives. We look forward to seeing you on Friday, 10th May at 10.00am at St Mary's College. Please note that there is no parking available at St Mary's College and limited parking on the school court.

 

Our tamariki are certainly loving hoop club. Please note this is paid for out of trips and activities.

Pop into school next Monday at 5:00pm for a session with Netsafe - you will get tips as to how you can support your child in a cyber world.

Have a great week everyone and thank you for everything you do for our school.

Arohanui,
