Week 3

What a wonderful first week we had last week! It was great to see everyone and the children have already settled in well with their new classes and teachers. Thank you for getting your child into school on time ready for the day!


This week we start our Easter celebrations with the beginning of lent. 

On Tuesday is Shrove Tuesday and we will be making pancakes with the class. Please bring a plate with your child’s name on it for the pancakes.

Wednesday is Ash Wednesday and there will be a school liturgy in the church. Ash Wednesday is the first day of lent and we will be talking about ways the children can show kindness and helpfulness during this time.


On Friday we have our opening school mass in the church. All are welcome to attend this. It starts at 9AM. Please drop your child to class as usual and make your way to the church to get a seat. Children will walk over with their classroom teacher. New students and families will be welcomed and blessed at this mass. New students will bring home an invitation letter this week.


This week is a swimming week! Please make sure that all children have their named swimming togs and a towel everyday.


We have a brain break at 10am each day. At this time the children are allowed to eat fruit or vegetables. If possible can you please provide these in a separate container/bag, not in their lunchbox. We encourage them to just bring in their fruit/vegetables so we can move quickly on to our next activity after brain break.


Here is a timetable for the week to remind you of all of the things coming up:

  Kia Ora Kākano Whānau,  We have made it to the last week of term!! Last year, term one wasn’t so successful, as we had gone into lockdown after only 8 weeks. It has been a great term. All of the classes have settled well with their new teachers and we, the teachers, have loved getting to know all of the children and families. Thank you for your support during this term with various school and classroom events. Take a look at some of the photos from last week: We were lucky to Senior Constable Regan in to talk to the children about safety in the car. He talked about having the correct car seats in for the children as well as the importance of ALWAYS wearing your seatbelt. It is always great to have these community leaders come in and see the children for a casual chat so that the children know that these people are out there to help us. On Wednesday, some children will be selected to go to a Principal’s morning tea. There are only 3 children per class chosen each term. It is ...
