Principal's Comment

Kia ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College

Congratulations to the sports teams who have played in the many games against Waitaki teams this week. Your sportsmanship has been outstanding and you have upheld our FIRE values on the fields and courts. It is particularly rewarding to be able to acknowledge our 1st Netball squad as they secured the Whitestone Trophy is a superb game played yesterday afternoon.
It has also been an honour to be able to host the 1967 1st XV on their 50th anniversary reunion. 
This is the fourth year that we have welcomed past students and it is great to be able share stories and maintain our heritage in such a positive way. Kevin Inder, captain of the 1967 team, addressed our students with a message that - change is unavoidable - be prepared to embrace it - keep abreast of it. -be prepared to say yes - take every opportunity. I am pleased to say that this is directly on point with our College ethos.
As we head off for the holidays, I wish everyone safe travel and a rewarding holiday with family and friends. I would encourage students to talk to caregivers about purchasing a Chromebook to help with their studies. Noel Leeming in Oamaru have some excellent pricing. Mention to their staff that you would like the St Kevin's discount to ensure you get the best deal.

May God bless you
Paul Olsen, Principal
