Dear Parents/Caregivers,
Our Mid Year progress reports have gone out to families. If you have any concerns about the learning progress your child is making, please contact your child's teacher to discuss. Syndicate leaders are always on hand to support you as well.
Please ensure you make an appoinment through our online platform for week 2 of next term, https://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz/ click on 'Make a booking' then enter the event code: 3b9kk. This is a great opportunity for you to share your perspective of your child's learning and hear a teachers perspective.
A special welcome to Anya, who started at our school today in Room 1. We know you will have a wonderful time while you are at Sacred Heart Cathedral School.
Matariki is a time to learn about your whanau, and a time to remember those who have passed on from this world to the next. Whakapapa is an important part of Matariki celebrations.

What a term it has been. All credit to our students, staff and whanau. Yes, we are all part of the team of 5 million, all credit has to go to the team here at Sacred Heart Cathedral School. Thank you for all the support you have given our school. Have a well earned rest with your families. Recharge and we look forward to reconnecting with you all in term 3.
Arohanui,
Bernadette Murfitt

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.
Congratuluations to the following children who made their First Reconciliation at St Mary of the Angels on Sunday, 28 June 2020: Chanelle Rm 5, Leon Rm 5, Malchus Rm 5, Daniel J Rm 5, Edward Rm 7, Georgia Rm 5, Sadie Rm 5 and Bella V Rm 6.
Thank you to all families who joined us. It may have been cold outside but inside our classrooms there were wonderful displays of learning.
Last Thursday on a cold bleak day, we ran our school cross country the inner city urban way.
Congratulations to all our students who competed. I saw alot of grit and determination particularly up the gradual incline of Hill Street and Guidford Terrace.
Thank you once again to all students and families who dressed up their feet to promote the idea that it is very important to be active. We were lucky to have a gap in the weather, so at 9.00am we were able to hold our annual Fancy Feet Parade yesterday. This parade was organised and run by our house captains with a little help from other senior students to provide some rocking music. Once again, we were amazed, surprised and maybe a little stunned by some of the creativity and imagination shown when it comes to dressing up feet!
Check out Ethan's (Rm 5) fancy feet and the rest of the students!
The Friends of Sacred Heart are looking for volunteers to help with some of the planned events coming up in terms 3 and 4. This would mean only 2-3 hours of your time and would mean so much to the school community. If we all pitch in, then it really brings the community of Sacred Heart together, enriching the time for all families. Please contact Amanda at 027 9399 575 and let me know what you might be able to help with - the pub quiz, the food fair, liturgy hospitality, car boot sale, etc.
Please note the following dates in your diary, further information will be coming:

For more information on Wilderkids head to https://sustaintrust.org.
The Wellington Curtain Bank is a social service that upcycles preloved curtains & fabric turning them into made-to-measure curtains for homes that really need them.
The idea is simple. Well fitted, double-layered curtains help keep cold air out and warm air in.
Warmer homes = less housing-related health issues.
Did you know that if you have a Community Services Card of a SuperGold Combo Card and live in the Wellington region, you could get free double-layered made to measure curtains from the Wellington Curtain Bank? https://sustaintrust.org.nz/get-curtains
Entertainment Publications have contacted all the businesses participating and have been re-assured that the restaurants and cafes are keen for people support them and to use the entertainment vouchers in their establishment.
