Saint Josephs Day
Saint Joseph isn't the most popular Saint - or even talked about very much in the Gospels - but he's pretty important to us at Saint Marys School. Our founder, Saint Mary MacKillop, started the Sisters of Saint Joseph - named for this humble and hard working man/father. You are most welcome to join us to celebrate this special feast day with Room 18 leading the liturgy.

We are very excited to have Bernie and Harold visiting us. Whanau Manuka (Year 2 team) will be talking lots about friendship and empathy. What is a friend? How can we tell how other people are feeling? How do our feelings influence the way we act? Is it ok to feel (angry, sad, frustrated...)? Please, continue these discussions at home with your children.

Kapa Haka
Kapa Haka starts again this week with the patient and talented Matua Koro leading. I will be 'encouraging' ALL children to have a go. We won't know if we like it if we don't try it. Last year, I was lucky enough to be on a panel that was interviewed about Kapa Haka at Saint Marys School. The students in the room happily spoke about their own growth in confidence, the pride they felt being part of this team and the opportunities and skills that Kapa Haka gave them to lead others. What an inspirational bunch.
