Term 4 - Week 9 - Last week of school

We are now in our final few days of school for 2022. Thank you so much to you, our wonderful Kākano whānau for a great year. The teachers wish you all a safe and blessed holiday period. 

On Friday the children brought home their reports with their class teacher for next year. They will get the opportunity to meet their new teacher on Monday and see who else is in their class. There was also a holiday reading log in this envelope. It is so important to continue reading over the holidays! Mums, Dads and family reading to you counts so make sure you record the book they read too. There will be a prize draw early next year.

Swimming

Kakano 5 are swimming this week. Bring your togs and towel each day and we'll fit it in around the various school activities happening.

Monday

We will be having our end of year school mass at 9am - we will be leaving class at 8:50am. Thank you for being at school on time and in correct tidy school uniform for this. It is a special mass to recognise our Year 6’s and all of their service to St Mary’s over time.

Wednesday

Whole school prizegiving is at 9:30. All whānau are welcome to attend this. If your child is getting a prize you would have received a slip of paper alongside their report. 

Thursday

This is our last day of school! We have a missioning in the morning to farewell the Year 6 students and school finishes at 12:30pm. Thank you for organising your child to be picked up at this time.

Thank you again for an awesome year in 2022.

Merry Christmas and have a happy new year!

Term 4 - Week 6

We are heading into the busy time of the year in our classrooms and across the whole school.   The Totara team (Yr 5 & 6) has their camps this week in Taupo. We all hope the weather plays ball and they are able to participate in all the planned activities and have a safe and joyful camp.

Back at school, all the Kākano classes will participate in a street racket lesson this week.  Street racket is a new and innovative game using a bat and ball.  It bridges the skills needed for all racket sports in a fun way.
