Week 4 Notices

- February 20, 2021


Bonjour everyone. I trust you have had a lovely weekend, we have truly been blessed with fabulous weather. It sure was a topsy turvy week with the country changing lockdown levels. We were so relieved to be at Level 2 and to still be able to work alongside our learners. It is a nice feeling knowing that we are now down to Level 1.

Ash Wednesday was celebrated with a beautiful Liturgy in our school hall last week. We got to meet our new parish priest Fr Thomas. No doubt he is going to deliver the Gospel to us in an engaging and meaningful way. Our students have made a promise during Lent to try and give up some kind of treat such as ice cream or chocolate. It would be interesting to see how strong their willpower is. Watch this space.

We also had our beginning of the year mass in the church celebrating our new families. It was lovely to see some parents come to mass.

What's on this week: 

There is swimming every day this week. Please make sure your child has their togs and towel packed. Goggles are optional.

Mon: Cricket

Wed: Go by Bike Day.


Thurs: Singing Practice, Library Day Room 16

Fri: Rm 14/15 Assembly. All are welcome.

Reminders:

Our school Gala is just around the corner. Actually, it is in week 5 on Thursday. Here is the list of things we are hoping to collect over the next few days.


Headphones: If your child has not yet got their headphones, they are available at the office for about $6. 

Sunhats: Please ensure your child has their sunhat with them every day to show they are a Sun Smart Kid.

Wishing you all a lovely week.

God Bless

David Bach and

Kahikatea Teachers.

Weekly Notices, Term 3, Week 6

  Bonjour to all Parents and Caregivers, Firstly we would like to thank all parents and caregivers for the wonderful work they have been doing with homeschooling their children during the level 4 covid-19 lockdown. We hope you have had no problems accessing the learning on the Middle School Kahikatea site. Remember that all the information regarding home learning can be found on the class blog from either this week or last week. If you have any concerns or questions do not hesitate to contact me. We realise that many parents will be working from home and that time to help children with their learning may be limited. The learning posted on the site is intended to be independent work for the children as much as possible. Please encourage your child to do as much work as is feasible given the lockdown realities in your household bubble. You will be well aware now that we will be moving from Alert Level 4 to 3 and this takes effect from midnight on Tuesday 31st August. The school is presen
