Kia ora, malo e lelei, talofa lava, kia orana, namaste, ni hao, welcome, Catholic Schools day was a day of celebrations. The students and teachers enjoyed having fun with our friends from San Antonio, Sacred Heart and St Claudine’s, in the Parish of the Holy Spirit, Te Wairua Tapu.
CAMP - Our Intermediate students were a credit to their families at camp last week . The students put their positive attitude and ‘growth mindset’ into action to try new and challenging experiences throughout the week of camp. What a great team of student leaders we have!
Many thanks to our parent team who joined the campers for the week; Les, Annemarie, Darryl, Natalie, Shannan, Leanne, Maleisha, Desley, Tim Watson, Luke, Tim Carter and Peter. Your energy levels and enthusiasm made the camp such a success for our students. Cheers!!!
A special mention to Bernita and Paul for planning and running a fantastic 2016 camp.
THANK YOU - Thank you to Our Lady of the Rosary Church parishioners for the warm welcome and morning tea at Mass on Sunday. It is always good to join together for any excuse.
Congratulations to Kiera Jordan and her family on the arrival of a baby sister.

Bullyfreenz and Life Education programme
In all situations of our students lives, within and outside of the school setting we aim to ensure our students are safe and have the skills to remain safe. BullyfreeNZ week, must not be for just a week, it must be for everyday all year round. Within the middle and senior classes aspects of the Kia Kaha programme
have been implemented, and next week we have the Life Education programme at our school. Both these programmes cover strategies to support our students when bullying may be present. The Life Education programme will be delivered by the Trust Teacher to the different classes between 23 May—30th May. Each of the following year groups have programmes planned to meet their needs: Year 1-3: Year 0-3: Healthy choices / making good choices Year 4-6: Peer pressure/bullying/self-esteem Year 7-8: How our body uses the food we eat / internet safety

ROAD SAFETY WEEK 16th-20th May. Please be mindful of the safety of our children during drop-off and pick-up times. We are situated
on a very busy road and everyone needs to take responsibility for the safety of our children. Please DO NOT park on yellow lines or impede the view of our young road patrollers. Please DO NOT drive into the carpark, do U-turns in-front of the carpark driveway or park over the driveway. A HCC parking warden is often present during the busy times to regulate driving behaviour.
Congratulations to you all for participating in the school Cross Country event yesterday. This is a photo of our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place getters - Well done!
