Tena Koutou, to all our students and parents.

  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.

Welcome back to the 2021 school year at St Mary's

  Welcome back from the holidays.  I hope you have all had a lovely rest and enjoyed having fun and family time.  I am looking forward to meeting everyone over the next two days as we begin our learning journey together.  Thank you for making appointment times so promptly. My name is David Bach and I have been teaching at St. Mary's for 15 years, the last 9 years in the Middle School.  After many years of teaching, I still love coming to school each day and seeing the smiles when progress is made (no matter how big or small) or when something new is achieved.  I am a very positive person and believe that relationships are the foundation for learning.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns.  I am normally in my classroom from 7:30 am to 3:30pm, but can stay later if a parent needs to see me. My email address is:  davidb@stmarysrotorua.school.nz  I am also willing to give my phone number to parents so you can text me or call for urgent matters. Stationery Studen
