Term 3 - Week 3

Kia ora whānau,

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend and made the most of the fine weather when it was here!

Thank you all for making the time to come to the 3-way conferences. It is always great to catch up with you all.

Fun Netball for Kākano children

We have a lovely volunteer who is keen to share her skills and knowledge of Netball with our tamariki.  Every Tuesday there will be “Fun Netball” for all children who wish to participate on the Turf at lunchtime (weather permitting).

Collage Materials

Thank you to those who have recycled boxes, bottle caps, yoghurt containers and brought them to school.  We still need more of these items as the children love creating with them.

Mini Marathon

Thanks to those of you who are keen to do this. Please remember to return your forms.

Feast Day of Mary MacKillop

This week we will be celebrating Saint Mary MacKillop who is a very important part of our school. Make sure to ask your children what they know about Mary MacKillop over the week. We will be having a school mass on Friday (at 9am in the church) which all whānau are invited to. We will be leaving class at 8:50am - please make sure your child is at school by 8:45 at the latest.

Special Sunday School Mass

Next Sunday, the parish has a Māori Miha (Māori Mass) at 10.00 am followed by a procession carrying the Statue of Mother Mary around the Church and our school. All students and families are invited to join the procession with their parents at 11.00 am in front of St Mary’s Church.
