Week 10 Notices

Kia ora parents and whānau, congratulations on making it to the last week of term! 

It has been a whirlwind of a term with lockdown and everyone has done a tremendous job getting to the end happily and safely. Thank you again for giving our students supportive and loving homes, the adjustment made to school was a lot easier thanks to that. 

It will be a very busy final week for our children. Lockdown has meant we have had to catch up on many of the activities missed during that time. Check Kieran out giving commands in Maori in this video.


As part of the KOS ( Keeping Ourselves Safe) programme, the kids have been learning about being caretakers and making responsible choices. This week they need to bring an egg in to look after.

Catholic Schools Day will be celebrated this week on Wednesday. As a Catholic school, we celebrate our unique Catholic Character in faith excellence and service. It is also an opportunity to embrace the taonga ( treasure) of Catholic Education which we are kaitiaki ( guardians). The theme for this special day is Turangawaiwai: Catholic Schools: A place to stand. Catholic Day Scavenger Hunt 2021.docx


Things on this week: 
Monday - Principals Morning Tea. Congratulations to those students who were chosen!

Tuesday - STEAM EXTRAVAGANZA and Library. 

Wednesday - Catholic Schools Day 

Thursday - Girls 7's Tournament at St Marys and St Vincent De Paul Liturgy 

Friday - Golden Time. 

Important messages from Mr Macmillan and Mrs Cato:

Last week all Year 0-5 students should have brought home a letter inviting parents to provide some information for consideration re the 2022 class placement of their child. A copy of the letter and form is here. Please note if you have more than one child at school we want you to complete a form for each child.  Reminder: The final day for these forms to be returned is Friday 1 October. Due to Covid Level 2 restrictions, we suggest the form is returned to the Class Teacher who will then pass it on to the School Office.

Our annual Athletics Day will take place on Monday, November 8th. Please click on the form below to help us organise the event.

  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

  Tena koutou. We hope all our mothers were treated with some lovely surprises today. Happy Mother's Day to all our beautiful mothers! Most of our students completed a virtual Mother's Day card. 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
