Notices Week 4 Term 3

-

 Bula Vinaka everyone. We were so blessed to have such beautiful weather for this weekend. Although windy, seeing the sun out is uplifting for our spirits.

This morning at our 10am mass we had a lovely turnout of students coming to celebrate the Assumption of Mary. There was a procession shortly after mass where we walked with some parishioners around the block. It was a heartwarming experience.

Last week we celebrated Mary Mackillop Day with mass and fun school activities. The children had such a great time learning about the person who established our school. Below are some photos of the afternoon tabloid sports.


Our children have just started learning about how to recite a poem for our annual Kahikatea Poetry Competition. Please encourage your child to learn their poem by memory. Classroom competitions start in week 5. We will be looking for expression in our students' voices, the use of gestures/ actions as they read, and trying to gain the attention of their audience through the projection of their voices.

Our Principals Award recipients: Congratulations Eric and Emma D.



What's happening this week:

Tue: Library day

Wed: Kapa Haka practices

Thur: School liturgy on the Assumption of Mary at 12:15

Fri: Rm 14 will be attending Parish Mass at 9am/ Pasifika and Choir practices.


We hope you all have a wonderful week.


Kahikatea Team

 Talofa everyone. Last week was a jam-packed week full of so many exciting events. Our swimming sports last Monday was a real success. I am sending out a big congratulations to all our students who gave it a go and gave it their best. Also to our parent helpers, we are so grateful to have supportive parents who can help during the event. T h ank you so much for giving up some time to help in this.  We know there were touch games and a Pasifika Group performance that happened over the weekend. I am looking forward to hearing about how these went. If your child was involved in any of these events, and you took some photos, please email them to me and I will post them onto our blog. This week we remember that it is Holy Week. Holy week marks the events leading up to Jesus' death and His resurrection. It starts with Palm Sunday, when Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey.

Aloha parents and whānau, welcome to week 5 Last week was a week that was full of emotions. I want to send my sincerest apologies for delivering the news about my departure in a way where you felt like you should have been informed first. To be honest, I was not given any guidelines as to what the appropriate process was, but do know that I felt that your child was the most important person who needed to know first, as they would have had the biggest impact. Please be assured that we have found a teacher/s to fill in my place till the end of the term. They have also worked with our children. Mr Macmillan will send out a notification out tomorrow regarding this. I have definitely felt the love and support from everyone over the past few days. The children along with some of the Middle School teachers put on a surprise shared lunch and tears flowed again as they performed a Haka for me and a beautiful waiata. It breaks my heart to know that I have to finish my year without my awesome kid...
