Dear Parents/Caregivers,

It really has been the year of rescheduling once we are at Alert Level 1 we can confirm a date for the disco. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

This week we celebrate Tongan Language Week.

Special thanks for all your support and  positive messages - these certainly fill everyones bucket. Just a reminder that we are in Winter Uniform this term and ties can be purchased from New Zealand Uniforms. School shoes are plain black.

Take care have a great week and rest up in the weekend. 

I will leave you with a   beautiful Prayer that was shared with the staff at our reflection time this morning.

As we go to work, be with us Lord.

Be the patience when we're frustrated.

Be the endurance when we are tired.

Be the wisdom when we are uncertain.

Be the inspiration when we are out of ideas.

Be the peacemaker when we feel hurt.

Be the comforter when we feel overwhelmed.

Be the energy when we are weary.

Be the guide when we are confused.

Be the forgiver when we get it wrong.

Be with us Lord today.

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.

Please find attached our Father's Day Liturgy for tomorrow, 10th September.

We will be having a market day on 23rd September (Wednesday) with all proceeds going to the Parish for the Cathedral Building project. 

It will be a slightly different fair from previous years as we are planning it under Alert Level 2. Our senior students will be running outside games and inside activities for a gold coin donation which will go straight to the Parish. Your child will recieve an ice block and will participate in games.

We are looking forward to giving Father David a donation towards the Cathedral project. The children can wear mufti.

Please note that the last two Interzone Cross Country results published in last week's newsletter was incorrect.  Our apologies for this.  The correct results are as follows:

Year 7/8 Sacred Heart Ferns played Holy Cross Lions and won 32:7.  Player of the day was awarded to Lila Rm 8.

Year 7/8 Sacred Heart Emeralds played Swift and won 11:1. Player of the day was awarded to Jade and Maddie who are both in Rm 9.

Year 5/6 Sacred Heart Pulse defaulted to Mt Cook Net Minute. 

Come dressed in anything "Pink" as Sacred Heart Cathedral School says NO to bullying.
