Principal's Comment

Kia ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College

I may have spoken too soon last week with talk of warm temperatures and the first buds, as snow now falls steadily in Oamaru. A reminder it seems about the fast changing weather that can occur and the need to take care if you are travelling on the roads this coming weekend.

Last weekend a group of students, accompanied by Mr Mullallay and Mrs Buckham, joined young people from across the Christchurch and Dunedin Dioceses for a World Youth Day event in Christchurch.  The event was hosted by Catholic Cathedral and Marian Colleges as a companion event to the World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland.  You can read more about this and see images from the weekend later in the blog.
Students from St Peter's and Verdon were hosted at the College on their way to Christchurch
Also in this blog, I have shared a video with tips on managing examination stress.  As we approach both College and NCEA examinations I would encourage parents and caregivers to open discussions about productive study habits and ways of reducing stress at this time of year.

Finally, I look forward to seeing many of you at our School Interviews this afternoon.  If you have been unable to attend, or the weather has prevented travel, please feel free to contact staff to make an alternative time to discuss any concerns.  A staff directory of emails can be found on the College website.

May God bless you
Paul Olsen, Principal
