Week 9

 We are now in our final few days of school for 2022. Thank you so much to you, our wonderful Kākano whānau for a great year. The teachers wish you all a safe and blessed holiday period. 

On Friday the children brought home their reports with their class teacher for next year. There was also a holiday reading log in this envelope. It is so important to continue reading over the holidays! There will be a prize draw early next year.

Monday

We will be having our end-of-year school mass at 9am. Thank you for being at school on time and in the correct tidy school uniform for this. It is a special mass to recognise our Year 6’s and all of their service to St Mary’s over time.

Wednesday

Whole school prizegiving is at 9:30. All whānau are welcome to attend this. If your child is getting a prize you would have received a slip of paper alongside their report.

Library Books

We have library every Friday and it is expected children return their books.  Please ensure your child has packed their books ready to be returned.

Keeping well

We are already half way through the term and we seem to be reaching higher temperatures. Please can you ensure your child brings a named water bottle so they keep hydrated. Also, please can you remind your child to bring their hat. St Mary’s has the rule - no hat, no play. So if they do not have a hat, they need to sit in the shade. 

We have Covid going through our school again.  Please make sure if your child is unwell they stay at home.  This stops the spread of germs and keeps other well.

Junior Kapa haka

Well done to all our children who participated in the Kahui Ako Ahurei on Friday. Our Junior roopu stole the show and looked awesome in their new outfits. You sang so beautifully and we were all so proud of you. Thanks especially to Mrs Thomson for organising the group-she did a wonderful job.
