Welcome to Week 9 Term 4

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. They can wear their house colours or PE uniform, please ensure all items are named. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions, there will be no spectators allowed. Tuesday - Prizegiving. Once again, unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, there will be no spectators allowed.

Thursday - School finishes at 12:00.

Other messages: The school magazine can be bought for $10.
Save Our Babies Annual Christmas School Bag Kaupapa Kahira Olley, the founder of Save Our Babies Charitable Trust, runs an annual Christmas school bag kaupapa. This means that children get a school bag full of gifts.

If any of the St Mary’s community would like to support this she is hoping for some school bags for 12-16 year olds.

You are welcome to donate a bag full or just a bag or just something to go in the bag.

Some ideas are - a dress (to wear Christmas Day)

- a pair of shorts and a t.shirt

- a pack of underwear

- toiletries and nice smellies

- game

- chocolates/lollies/goodies

- Lastly, don’t forget the school bag.

If you would like to see some of the other wonderful work that Kahira does please look at her facebook page.

Any questions please phone Rachel Schuster on -027 446 1351

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE ITEM/ITEMS PLEASE LEAVE THEM IN THE SCHOOL RECEPTION.

I hope you have an awesome Christmas and a great summer holiday. Thank you for a fantastic year!

Nga mihi,

Sophie Bowie and Team Kahikatea.

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
