Dear Parents

Thank you to the many parents and whanau who joined the children for ‘Sharing the Learning’. This is a wonderful way for you to see the progress your chold has made with their learning, through the term. It is also a great opportunity for your child to talk about their learning with you.

In Term 2 we will be having ‘Sharing the Learning’ in Week 9. You will also be receiving a progress report from your child’s teacher. This will be followed up with a parent teacher meeting at the beginning of Term 3. Through these three events you will learn about your child’s progress over the first half of the year and their next steps with learning.

Thank you to the families who joined us for our Stations of the Cross Liturgy.this afternoon. Ther children were wonderful in the way they performed their roles and they sang beautifully. A lovely time of prayer and reflection.

This week I have had parents letting me know that their children will be attending the Anzac Parade with me on behalf of the school community, which is wonderful. I have confirmed for them that the children are expected to wear the full correct school uniform, and if possible have an ANZAC poppy pinned to their jersey. Please check out the details below.

We wish you all a happy Easter and we look forward to welcoming the children on the first day of Term 2 on Tuesday 29 April.

Uniform – Full correct school uniform with an ANZAC poppy pinned to the jersey

Please can parents bring their children to Sanders Ave by 8:30 am where you will meet me. When the children and I have lined up with Rosmini and Carmel, you will be able to walk to the War Memorial in The Strand for the service. The children walk in the parade and we will sit where directed, as a school for the service. At the end of the service parents are asked to collect their child and let me know that they are taking them. I have appreciated the number of families who have supported this event in previous years and thank you for being part if it this year.
