What an amazing day we had on Friday with Andrew Chinn joining us. He was blown away by the singing during our Grandparent's Mass - he stopped singing himself during one of the songs so he could just enjoy hearing the children sing. We had a great workshop with him and the afternoon concert got everyone involved, smiling, singing and dancing along to the songs. Thank you to all parents who were very generous with providing some lovely treats for morning tea. It was wonderful to have so many grandparents and grandfriends join us.
Thank you for having the children in their summer uniforms. Some mornings are still cold so they may need jerseys. Please make sure that your child has their sunhat every day. St Mary’s has the rule - no hat, no play. So if they do not have a hat, they need to sit in the shade. All items of school uniform need to be named please.
A gentle reminder that school starts at 8:45. If your child arrives after this time, they will need to report to the school office to be recorded as present but late.
From Mrs Holmes - Student Returning to school
Kia ora whanau,
We have a student returning to school on Monday who has had cancer. He has been away since 2021. His immunity has been compromised due to the treatment he has received and he is particularly susceptible to chickenpox and measles.
Any cases of chickenpox or measles, in the school community, needs to be reported to the school office immediately to ensure his health is not compromised. He is looking forward to coming back to school as are his friends.
Swimming
There is no swimming for all kakano classes over the next two weeks. The middle and senior school children have instructors coming in to take them for Make the Difference swimming lessons.
