Week 3 - Term 3 - 2021

 WEEK 3 TERM 3 2021

Kia ora,

It's hard to believe that we are entering into Week Three and the start of August. The daffodils outside have started to bloom, which means longer days and warmer weather to come. Today is the  Feast Day of Mary MacKillop and we will be celebrating this on Friday. Last Friday Middle school were part of the Novena to Our Lady, in preparation for the Feast of the ‘Assumption of Mother Mary into Heaven’ on 15th August. The kids were amazing, they read and sang beautifully. 

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 from the school are invited to join the procession with their parents at 11.00 am in front of St Mary’s Church. Staff are also invited to be part of this. There is a shared lunch after the procession that everyone is invited. Families are asked to bring a plate to share. 

Thank you for attending the 3 way conferences. The conferences are always a good time for parents to hear what their children have been doing and what their goals are for the next little while. Please, if you were unable to attend, contact the class teacher and we will make a time that works.

School photos - All orders need to be done online by Sunday the 29th of August for free Delivery to the school you should have received a notice.

We will be starting our KOS programme throughout the school soon. This Monday night Viv Sutton is hosting a ‘Keeping Ourselves Safe’ Information meeting:

There is a community hui at St Mary's School on Monday 9 August, 5.15-6pm, in Room 14, where I will explain what the Keeping Ourselves Safe programme entails, and share some tips about keeping your young ones safe. You are encouraged to attend.

Room 16's library day is on Thursday. Please help your child to remember their books so that they can take out new ones.

Please if you are eating yummy apples and need a chart for the stickers let Mr Bach know and he will print you off a form. We receive P.E. gear for the stickers collected.  

Have an enjoyable week.

David Bach and

Kahikatea Team

  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

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
