Welcome to Week 10 Term 3

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 make to school was made a lot easier thanks to that. 

In maths this term, we had a focus on geometry and fractions. Here is some translation art that some of our fantastic tamariki has done. 





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.

Catholic Schools Day is about celebrating our unique Catholic Character, in faith, excellence and service. It is another opportunity to celebrate the taonga of Catholic Education for which we are kaitiaki. The theme for Catholic Schools Day, 2021 is Tūrangawaewae: Catholic Schools – A Place to Stand

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

PTA raffle books are being sent home on Friday.

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

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 a
