Welcome to Week 4

Tena koutou Whānau,

I hope you have had a relaxing weekend in the sunshine and are ready to take on Week 3 😊

Ths children enjoyed celebrating Ash Wednesday last week, where they were able to meet our enthusuastic new parish priest Fr Thomas. It was also fantastic to formally welcome our new students and families at Mass on Friday. 


Things on this week and friendly reminders:

- Swimming is on each day this week. Students need their togs, towel, and goggles (optional). Please ensure everything is named. 
- Cricket is on this week, and should be a lot of fun! 
- Go By Bike Day is on this Wednesday (see poster below). 
- Library is on Thursday. Some children still have books from last year that need returning. Please double-check that you don't have any at home.
- We are on assembly this Friday,
- Singing practice is also on Thursday. 
- Some children have been using spare hats at school. This is no problem, but it would be great if they had their own. 
- All students need headphones please. These can be purchased for $6 from from the office. 

Things coming up:

- Our school Gala is on Thursday in Week 5. This is what we are hoping to collect over the next few days:

Kia ora whānau,  Congratulations on making it to the final week of what has been a fun and turbulent school year. Thank you all for the time, dedication and effort you have put into your children's learning, particularly during the lockdown period.  We have been doing all sorts of crafts, technology projects, science and physical activities during our morning rotations, which the kids have thoroughly enjoyed. Check out our budding beekeepers below!  We sent school reports home on Friday which included a slip with the name of your child's teacher for 2022. All students will be meeting their new teacher and classmates on Monday.  Coming up this week:  Monday - Duathlon  All children will need to bring their togs, towel, hat and sneakers.

Welcome to Week 7 Term 4

Good morning on this beautiful summer day.  It is hard to think that there are only three more weeks left of the school year.  Let's make these the three best ones we've had, by being organised, being kind and having a big dollop of patience. 𝅵؜𝅴 Kahikatea is looking forward to our Big Day In on Monday 6 December.  Unfortunately with Covid restrictions, we are unable to invite parents to join us.  Please keep a lookout for a notice which will be sent home this week outlining all the details. Looking back at what was going on this time last year and it was jam packed with lots of activity - preparing for the curtain going up for Peter Pan, Ahurei, student Celebration Day at school, Christmas Parade, students competed in inter-school athletics. Unfortunately many activities have had to be cancelled this year due to COVID and many more will also need to be cancelled. Presently we are looking at how our end of year prizegiving and Mass is going to look. Plans will need to fit acc

Welcome Ākonga and Whānau

  Hello! My name is Sophie, also known as Miss Bowie. I am very excited to be embarking on 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 whānau, eating lots of delicious food, and of course, teaching. I am currently training for a half-marathon, which I will be running with Miss Lovegrove (If I can keep up with her long legs!). Throughout my early teaching years, I have had many “wow moments” with my students, which are memories I will treasure forever. I cannot wait to create more precious memories this year in rooms 14 and 15.  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 cla
