Welcome to the last week of Term 1, with the term ending on Thursday. The Easter holiday begins on Friday with Good Friday. It has been a long and challenging term with covid-19 sweeping through the country and disrupting learning at St Mary's. Many children and some teachers became infected and needed to isolate at home. Nevertheless, we have been pleased with the progress children have been making with their learning and their social skills this term. Washing of the Feet Liturgy On Thursday we have the 'Washing of the feet Liturgy', although due to covid-19 protocols we are still unable to celebrate this as a school, nor have parent involvement.  This week is an important week in the Catholic Church generally. Holy Week began today with the commemoration of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, climaxing with the commemoration of the Mystical or Last Supper on Maundy Thursday and the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Holy Week concludes with Christ

Morena Kāhikatea whānau, welcome to week 10! We hope you have enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend has provided and are feeling energised as we approach the last 2 weeks of Term 1. Thank you so much for your flexibility and cooperation with covid protocols. We have had many students isolate and then return to school smoothly, slotting straight back into classroom routines. We all had a fun day on Friday with students and teachers pranking one another. You may have seen this post on the St Marys facebook page about Mr Richards Lawnmower. Some of you may have noticed some posts on Educa last week. We have begun uploading videos of students learning and will continue to do this regularly, so please keep an eye out for Educa notifications.
