Week 6 Notices

Kamusta and Welcome to Week 6.

We are already halfway through Term 2 and feeling many of the effects of Winter, namely dark mornings, cold gloomy days, and viruses. There are a number of cold viruses going around at the moment. Please remember that if your child is feeling sick, we ask you to keep them at home to recover.

Over the next couple of weeks, all Middle School children will be tested in Reading, Writing, and Maths in preparation for Mid-Year reports. 

On Friday we have a school Mass celebrating the feast of the Sacred Heart. All parents and caregivers are invited to attend.

Our Matariki Dinner is scheduled for Thursday, June 24th in our school hall at 5.30pm. Parents and caregivers are cordially invited to come and share food from their country of origin, if you wish, otherwise just bring a plate of food. 

It is Support Staff Week this week and at St Mary's we will be acknowledging and thanking our support staff who do a magnificent job for teachers and our children. 

It is our Kaumatua Rangi’s 85th birthday and we will be acknowledging this by putting on a morning tea for him this Thursday. 

A Ripper Rugby team, coached by Mrs Dinniss, is also competing in the schools’ competition on Wednesday. The postponement day is Friday.

  Rm 14/15 2021 Teachers: Tai Waititi and Sophie Bowie Kia Ora Tatou. I’m Tai but in the class setting I am known as Mrs YTT, mama and yes sometimes nana. Teaching makes me feel like a rock star ( which is probably what I want to be when I grow up). Every day, I have children run up to me, giving me hugs, calling my name over and over again as they hear me rocking with our class guitar, Jack. I adore the children I teach and learning new things from them. I am so excited to be their teacher this year. Hello! My name is Sophie, also known as Miss Bowie. I am very excited to be starting a new adventure at St Marys this year after teaching for 4 years at Kawaha Point School. My passions include playing netball, exploring new places, spending time with my friends and whanau, eating lots of delicious food, and of course, teaching. Despite being relatively early on in my career, I’ve already had many “wow moments” with my students, which are memories I will treasure forever. I cannot wait to

It will be in their google drive account. Please keep in your prayers those children who no longer have their mothers with them. I wanted to thank everyone for the time you took last week to be involved in your child's goal setting for this term. It was a pleasure to see all of my parents and also to meet new parents. Our children looked so charming in their national costumes dressing up for 'Children’s World of Prayer' day. They looked so proud to be part of this. The mini-marathon on Friday was a great day out. It's nice to see our whanau support, running, and cheering on our tamariki thank you. If you haven't filled out the transportation form for the Cross Country day please do so, we will be needing parent support on the day both for transportation and marshalin
