Welcome to Week 4 Term 2

Kia ora 😁

We had a wonderful Ascension liturgy on Thursday run by the Kahikatea team. Thank you to all our parents who came to watch. This week we are growing on our concept of healthy lifestyles. On Friday we will be looking at eating healthily, exercising through games, and the ability to self-regulate through mindfulness.

We also have Cross country this Wednesday in the afternoon. Children will get changed into their P.E. gear at the school before being transported to the Red Woods. More info below. Pick-up needs to be at 2:30pm. 

Last week the students from rooms 12, 14, &15 all attended a morning Parish Mass followed by a delicious shared morning tea in the church hall.  


What's happening this week:

Tues: Library

Wednesday: Cross Country 

Thursday: Pentecost Liturgy 12:15 in the hall all parents are welcome

Fri: Health and Wellbeing Concept day


Friendly Reminders:

- Chromebooks need to come to school charged. As we are a BYOD school, many of our learning activities now require devices. Headphones are essential, please. If your child's Chromebook is not working, I recommend contacting Paul (see contact details below).
- Please LABEL your children's clothing, we have quite a few issues with jerseys/fleeces ending up on the wrong body.
- Please check with your child that their headphones are working. We still have some children without, it was on the stationery list for this year and very important to have at school. They can be purchased reasonably priced at Kmart, or the school ($8)

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...

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.

Welcome to Week 1 Term 4

Welcome back to Term 4 all parents, caregivers and children.  We hope that children had a refreshing break and you are enjoying the nice Spring weather (on most days). It is going to be a very busy term with a lot of things happening, including the St Mary's RE Review in Week One. We will have special visitors checking out our lovely Catholic School on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Covid-19  As you are no doubt aware NZ is in the midst of a Covid-19 Delta variant outbreak. St Mary's will continue to operate under Level 2 restrictions. We are continuing to ask parents not to enter the school except for essential matters. If you do need to come in you must wear a mask and sign in at the school office (or use the NZ covid tracer app). We will need to continue to use basic hygiene measures such as handwashing, use of sanitiser, cough and sneeze etiquette and regularly cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces. We will continue to make sure everyone sanitises or wash hands ...
