CARITAS FUNDRAISER FOR TONGA, IS WEDNESDAY 5TH APRIL...CHILDREN TO WEAR MUFTI AND BRING A GOLD COIN DONATION. THANK YOU!!

WOW WEEK 10 ALREADY!!!

WE HAD FUN WITH HAROLD AND BERNI AND WE LEARNT NEW THINGS ABOUT HOW OUR BODY WORKS!

Over the next few weeks our children will be involved in Liturgies which lead into Easter. We are entering the most Holy time of the Catholic calendar. HOLY WEEK is the marking of the most significant events which occurred leading up to and including Christs' death and resurrection.

Some of our Kahikatea children will lead/mine/read at the Stations of the Cross.

• Stations of the Cross. Thursday 6th April. 9am St Mary’s Church.
• Palm Procession. Friday 7 April. School Grounds 10am.
• Washing of the Feet. Thursday 13th April. 10am School Hall.

Please also take advantage of the Church Services during Easter and take your children to services at St Mary’s or St Michael’s. Easter is one of most sacred events on our Catholic calendar.

On Saturday our Pasifika group performed at the Pasifika Fun Day at the Lake Front. Our children performed beautifully and we are certainly very proud of them and I am sure the many parents who were there, were also. Thanks to Mrs Wallbank who has spent many hours with the children preparing them for this performance. The MC at the Fun Day announced that St Mary’s group looked to be a very inclusive group with a number of the children representing many different nationalities.

REMINDER!! Be vigilant as we have had a case of head lice. If noticed, please treat as to be treated saves everyone else from getting head lice. 

In the last week of this term we have scheduled three-way conferences with you, your child and their teacher. These will take place between 3.15pm and 6.15pm on Monday 10th April and Tuesday 11th April. We will advise you when bookings are open.
