Dear Parents/Caregivers,

There is a wonderful buzz still within our school. Our students and staff are all working really hard. Goals are set and plans are in place to achieve these. 

On Monday morning, we as a school reflected and prayed for all those who were affected by the actions of 15 March. This beautiful liturgy which we were able to hold outside, was led by our students. At Sacred Heart Cathedral School, we continue to be a supportive, welcoming and inclusive school for all. We continue to appreciate and embrace the diverse cultures, ethnicities, nationalities and languages that make up our nation.

Our student council were presented with their badges. Congratulations and we look forward to the range of events you will organise throughout the year.

Please keep an eye on you email and our school app for any updates.

Arohanui,

Bernadette Murfitt

Principal

Sacred Heart Cathedral School

Dear God,

You come to us in Jesus who teaches us that the way to happiness is through our love for one another.

Watch over the teachers, students and families of Sacred Heart Cathedral School as we try to be faithful to this teaching.

Help us to be a welcoming and joyful community, so that others may come to know your love and peace.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Amen.

We have cancelled goal setting on the 30 and 31 March. Students will bring home their learning goals on Monday, 30 March.

Yesterday, the Junior Syndicate had an amazing trip to the Island Bay Marine Education Centre.

We have had a wonderful fortnight learning all sorts of moves. Thank you to all the amazing parents who came and supported our students last Thursday. 

We were all so impressed with all the natural talent that was on display.

This afternoon, we had an amazing yoga session. Thank you Jess for introducing our students to the benefits of yoga.

JC from Room 5 has earned a GOLD certificate in Mathletics. Great work, JC!
