Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Congratulations to Katie Rm 9, who is the recipient of the St Catherine's College academic scholarship.  Well done Katie! We are super proud of you.

Thank you to all our families who supported our Christmas hamper fundraiser.  We raised $1,272.00.  What a fantastic effort!

Special thanks to Mrs Geraghty and the Student Council for organising Mad Monday we all entered into the spirit of dressing up.

The end of the year is coming to an end. The weather has certainly been misbehaving a little. However it is forecasted that we will have a warm summer. We all just need to keep being positive and be kind to each other.

I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday evening at our End of Year Mass, which will be held at Queen Margaret College Hall.

Arohanui,

Bernadette Murfitt

Principal, Sacred Heart Cathedral School

5.30pm - The Junior School will sing carols for us followed by

5.45pm - Kapa Hapa Performance Group.

6pm - Welcome and End of Year Mass 

There is limited parking onsite at Queen Margaret College. There is also some parking outside the school on Hobson Street and on Fitzherbert Ave opposite Katherine Mansfield Park.

All children are expected to attend and are to be in correct summer uniform.

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.

Last Thursday the Middle Syndicate had a trip to a place called Manawa Karioi.  We went on a bus and there we met someone named Chris Livesey.
We learned about a person named Bruce Stewart and how he had built a community Marae around 40 years ago.

We had a stunning afternoon over at Thorndon School sharing culture. Staff and students were so proud of our Performance Kapa Haka group. Our Performance students have all worked so hard this year and have really taken themselves to a new level in 2020.
