Our  Beginning   School  Mass  is  an   important  occasion   and   we   hope   many  of  you   will be  able  to  join   us  for  this  on   Monday.  We   have  our official welcome  of new families and  the  Year 8s are  presented   with   their  Leadership   badges  at  this  Mass.  We   will  have   morning   tea   for  all  those   who  wish  to  stay  afterwards   in   the   library.      World Day of Prayer, 10.15am on Friday 3rd March 

This  is  an   ecumenical  service   and   will  take   place   in   our  church.  The   focus  for  this  is  on   the   Philippines  and   has  been   prepared   by  a   working   group   based   in   the   Philippines.  Our  senior  students   will   b e   h elping   with   this   service.    You   a re   warmly   invited   to   join   u s   for   this.      Commissioning Mass 

On  Thursday,  all  the  teachers  travelled  to  Cromwell  where  we  had  a  Mass  with  the  Bishop,  priests  and  teachers  from  the  4  Catholic  Schools  in  Central  Otago.  At  this  Mass,  we are officially commissioned by the  Bishop  in  our  role to teach at our Catholic schools, ensuring our children’s spiritual development is nourished  and  they  learn  about  the  good  news  that  Jesus  shared  with  us  when  he  lived  on  Earth.  It  is  also  a  great  chance   to   catch   up   with   other   teachers   and   to   share   the   challenges   and   celebrations   at   our   schools.      School Council Meeting 

We  had  our  first  meeting  this  week  and  the  students  had  some  great  ideas  for  how  they  wanted to make a  positive  difference  from  doing  more  planting  in  the  gardens  and  keeping  our  playground  litter  free  to  assemblies  and  the running of House activities and ensuring our younger children understand the Mass.  We  discussed  a  proposal  brought  to  the  group  about  having  the  opportunity for skateboarding which they were  keen   to   see   happen.    An   announcement   will   be   made   about   this   early   next   week.      It   is   so   nice   to   see   the   sunshine.    Let’s   hope   this   continues!    Enjoy   the   weekend.     Ka   kite,  Trisch   Inder  Principal
