Weekly notices - Week 8

 Talofa everyone

It's hard to believe it's week 8 already.  It's been a busy week with senior camps, St. Josephs Day Mass and activities and of course, the Gala which was a huge success.  Many thanks for the ongoing parent/family support we get for these events and occasions to be successful.  The Gala was a wonderful community event with many past pupils attending to help or connect.

Tomorrow is our Swimming Sports at the Aquatic Centre.  The weather looks good and it will be our first time using the renovated pool.  Children will be swimming the width of the pool this year (25m) instead of the length (50m).

Week 10, Term 2 - Weekly notices

   Te Ahiahi Pai (Good Afternoon),  I hope you have been enjoying the sunshine and are feeling recharged as we head into our last week of Term 2.  We have had a busy term with a variety of events and activities. It felt fitting that last week we practiced Christian Meditation. It was led by Sister Rachel and Sister Ema from the Sisters of Compassion in Wellington.  During these sessions, children were asked to sit in  S ilence and  S tillness with a  S traight back and  S ay the word Maranatha to themselves, meaning 'Come Lord Jesus'. If you hear your child talking about the 4  S  words, this is what they are referring to.  Christian Meditation is something we are going to continue to practice as a school. It provides an opportunity to take a break and be still, in an otherwise very busy environment!  Things on this week: Wednesday   - Kapa Haka.                       - Principal's luncheon                      - Room 17 Library- please remember to bring your books to swap
