Cupcake Day – In Support of the SPCA – Monday 24th August
Ruma Kiwi (Year 1/2) are supporting an initiative from one of their classmates by selling cupcakes on Monday 24th August at lunch time between 12:40 and 1:30pm.
The money raised will be donated to SPCA Otago.
This initiative supports our humanity (core value) focus this term and the Star Newspaper has been invited to do a follow up story for the SPCA.
Thank you, in advance, for your support. Check out the colourful poster!
Thanks PFA for a great pyjama party
Many thanks to the PFA for arranging such a great evening last week. The children enjoyed their pyjama party and the adults benefited from Sam Weeper’s presentation on Restorative Practice. We hope to be able to share the slides from Sam’s talk in the future.
At the PFA AGM on the same night, the PFA Annual Report was presented and accepted. Many thanks to all on the PFA, particualrly co-chairs Martina Kelly and Kate Wilson, for their hard work and support of the school. We wouldn’t be the school we are without them.
Just one of the ways the PFA supports the school is through providing food at school events. Here you can see members of the PFA cooking up a storm at the school crosscountry earlier this year.
Special Character News – Mufti Mania Day
Kia ora
You will be aware that our school has been involved in a Special Character Review this week. Visiting reviewer Mr Paul Ferris has now completed the review following meetings with myself, the Board of Trustees and our DRS Mr Tili. Paul joined us for shared school prayer and spent time in classrooms observing RE lessons and speaking with children. I am delighted to inform you that the review has been extremely positive and Paul has conveyed this to myself and to the Board of Trustees. We now look forward to receiving and sharing with you the completed report early next term
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all colleagues, support staff, board members, PFA, helpers and our wonderful children for another great term at Sacred Heart. Receiving such a positive review report is a great way to end the term and we wish for you all a safe and relaxing term break.
