Marist Colts Visit

Today the touring Marist Colts visited us at school.  They are a group of young Marist men from all around NZ who get together once a year to go on tour.  They talked to us and some of us got to do a line out with them and then we all played outside with them.  It was really great and some of our kids might just grow up to be Marist boys too.

         

                                    

                                Here is Oli in the Marist Line out.  Cool Oli.

Assumption of Mary

Today we celebrated the Assumption of Mary - when Mary went to Heaven, body and soul after she died.  We had a Liturgy in the Hall.

Hiwi the Kiwi

Today the Minstrel and his wife came to teach us all about fishing, water safety, keeping our oceans clean and making sure we have enough fish in the future for everyone to enjoy going fishing.  He sang songs, played some silly games and gave out some cool prizes.  We had such fun!  Bianca even won a prize.

Thank you to Sebastian who was our photographer today.

Student Led Conferences

Thank you to all the parents who came to school last Tuesday to support their children in their SLC.  We had a great turn out and the kids loved sharing their knowledge and goals with you.  It is a great opportunity for them to discuss what is happening at school and certainly reinforces their next steps in learning.  

Go4it

This week we started Go4it with Tim.  He talked to us about balance and we played some cool, fun games.  He will come back next Thursday and show us some more.
Here we are enjoying Go4it..
