Scripture Competition

On Monday 16 May we traveled to Palmerston North where two of our students Tessa Higginson-Year 5 and Molly Pawson-Year 6 took part in the Annual Scripture Reading Competition for Year 5 and 6's at St Mary's Church in Palmerston North.
This competition is run annually and the Catholic Primary Schools around the Palmerston North area are invited to participate.

Both Molly and Tessa represented our school and both deserve a great deal of credit for their wonderful Parable proclamations.

Well done to the both of you!!!!

May-the Month of Mary

We Celebrate in May

The month of May offers much to celebrate. We honour Mary in a special way, often through the crowning of statues of Mary, in recognition of her role as Queen of All Saints. Additionally, the Easter season comes to a close with the feasts of the Ascension and Pentecost. 

Mary, Our Mother

Mary has a unique and privileged place in salvation history and in the Church. 
Mary, is our first model of discipleship. 

Room 5 are taking turns to bring home the  Mary Prayer Kite. Please take the time to pray together, and give thanks for the blessings in your lives.

Making a New Home.

 We welcomed a new student to our Class at the end of Term 1. Tyrize only just arrived in New Zealand.

We hope his family enjoy a long and happy association with our School and Parish.
Welcome to you and your Family Tyrize!!!

Luandato Si"

Our faith calls us to care for creation as a gift of God's love.

Inspired by Church teaching and in the light of Pope Francis encyclical, Laudato Si', we have been reflecting on our responsibility to care for the world that God has made.

Building Rangitiratanga.
