Confirmation Retreat Day

Dear Parents and friends We are now into Week 8 of Term 2 with 2 weeks to go until the holidays. With the shortest day on Friday we can look forward to the prospect of Spring on the horizon.

We offer our prayers and sympathy to Cathy and Dion Criscillo and family on the recent death of Cathy’s mother. We also congratulate Julia Havell and Gerard Duignan who recently became Grandparents for the first time with the safe arrival of their new granddaughter.

Congratulations to our new Board of Trustees. We look forward to working with you over the next 3 years.

Congratulations to our athletes who represented our Zone at yesterday’s Interzone Cross Country.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the teacher’s industrial action. We are hopeful that after Friday’s breakthrough announcement we will not be going on strike again. Teachers and Principal’s now have to vote on the offer and this will be happening this week.

Thank you to those of you who came and joined us for Matariki last Thursday.

Sacred Heart Feast Day: We will be celebrating Sacred Heart Feast Day on Friday 28th June. We will be celebrating by ourselves this year as Sacred Heart Thorndon have decided not to come. Mass will be at 9.30am and at 11.30am we will be heading to the Arena Aquatic Centre in Porirua for the rest of the day. A notice about this was sent home last week.

3 Way Learning Conversations: These will be held in Week 9 of the term. A booking form for these was sent out next week. Booking slips are due back this Friday 21 June. We try to accommodate all request but these are done on a first in first allocated basis.

Mufti Mania: Friday 5th July 2019 (last day of Term 2) Mufti Mania is an initiative of the NZ Catholic Primary Principal’s Association and Caritas. It is held every year on the last day of Term 2 and funds collected are sent to Caritas for a particular project in the Pacific. This year we are supporting the students and staff of Doputz Primary School in Bougainville (Papua New Guinea) to help them get their school back up and running through new water tanks,toilets, resources and classroom repairs. All children may wear Mufti and the cost for wearing Mufti is a gold coin.

CELEBRATING OUR STUDENTS Matariki celebrations Kererū class made some Rewana bread and wrote some sequence plans. We made mashed potatoes in a lunch box. It was fun. Next we put the sugar in. Next we waited for it to cool and bubble. We made dough. We put the dough in the oven and we have to wait for it to rise and it was good when we ate it. Jacinta I made some Rewana bread. It was fun because I ate it. It is potato and it had flour. Niko Miss boiled the potatoes. Then we added flour and sugar and mixed it to dough. We put the dough in a tray and sprinkled flour on the dough and then we cooked the bread. Charlotte They boiled the potatoes and put in the flour and sugar and mashed. Add more flour. Knead the dough and put it in the bowl and put it in a warm place. Cook the dough for 35 minutes. Last we took it out and cut it. William

We have such amazing students at Sacred Heart Petone, here a few of them perform a waiata at assembly.
