On Friday we have our Kahui Ako Ahurei. There will be schools from Opotiki, Tauranga, Putaruru and Rotorua performing. We have both a junior and senior group performing.  Juniors are being bused back to school at about 10 am and Seniors at 2 pm. The juniors performed at Assembly on Friday and were outstanding.  We wish them all the best for Friday.

No swimming this week.  Last week Room 15, 16 and 17 children were all involved in the "Make a difference" swimming program.  They all made pleasing progress and enjoyed challenging themselves during the sessions.  Well done to those who brought their togs and swam 5/5 days.  





Pokemon cards









Please do not bring Pokemon cards to school.  They are causing all sorts of problems which teachers struggle to resolve satisfactorily and in a timely manner. Please keep them at home as they will need to be confiscated if found at school.  

Thanks for your support and understanding.

Have a great week.
Mrs Shelly and Team Kahikatea

Viewing the Icon - Holy Mary, Mother of God

Today we were lucky enough to visit a beautiful piece of artwork showing  Ko Hāta Maria, te Matua Wahine o te Atua - Holy Mary, Mother of God. It was created by Dunedin artist, Damian Walker, who has integrated aspects of the Māori culture into his work. For example, Mary is holding 12 fern fronds and each koru represents an apostle. She is wearing a tiki around her neck which symbolises her motherhood. Baby Jesus is wearing a kahu kiwi (Kiwi feathered cloak) which was only ever worn by Māori chiefs or people with prestigious mana. The children were blown away by the stunning details within the painting and how they all had a special meaning. Father Thomas was able to answer many questions about the art before leading us in singing Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

Good morning on this wonderful, wet Sunday morning.  I hope you are all managing to stay warm and dry.  We had a very rewarding week of testing reading, writing and maths last week.  The children have worked hard this year so far and it can certainly be seen in the gains that they have made. Once again, St Mary's provides our children with many opportunities to participate in a variety of sports and activities.   Young Vinnies have the finals of the Talent Quest tomorrow at 9.15 am in the hall.  Congratulations to those who are in the finals.  Remember to be prepared and bring any props, clothes etc which you may need.  The rest of the school look forward to watching and seeing the talent in our school. The Ripper Rugby Tournament is scheduled for this Wednesday, with Friday as the postponement day. This event has been postponed twice already so let’s hope that it happens this time.  The interschool Cross Country is scheduled for Tuesday, with Thursday being the postponement day. R
