Kia ora Manawa Tapu!
We enjoyed a fantastic performance last weekend at Otago Museum and one of our best yet in a great venue with a most appreciative audience. To our leaders Mr Pesamino Tili, Whaea Emere, to all of our amazing helpers, I can’t find words to express our gratitude. The passion of children in their performance also sends warm messages of thanks as well. This was indeed a proud moment for our awesome Sacred Heart community. Thanks also to Kavanagh ‘Pasifika Vibes’ for your warm acknowledgement.
This is the last week of term. We have class Masses From Tuesday to Thursday and you are most welcome to attend. Term 3 will end with a Music and Dance assembly in ‘Nga Maara’ our school hall. The Otago Dancers, who have been running Friday dance classes for most of this year will present a performance of their work so far with our young aspiring dancers.

Kia ora te Whanau
Last Friday was officially our school feast day. Because Mr Tili and I were attending the Catholic Schools Convention in Wellington we have decided to observe the day on Thursday of this week. We will be attending special Mass of the Sacred Heart at 9:30am and will then have a shared morning tea in our Charism whanau groups. In the afternoon we will gather in Nga Maara Hall for some music and dance activities. You are most welcome to join us at any stage during the day.
