Thank you - Kiri Powell

Shakespeare In 20 Minutes

Launching into Activities Week, Monday saw our Year 9 students take to the stage recreating the dramatics of Shakespeare in the 20 minute play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Directed by Mrs Mary Haig the cast from Year 9 Drama brought to life this romantic comedy.

Refurbishment Update

Safety barriers and scaffolding ... a sure sign that work on the refurbishment of the Science Block and College Library is well under way. Staff and students have been busy clearing rooms ready for trade people to come and make their final preparations, and in the case of the Library to actually start painting. The work will continue over the summer holidays ready for the new school year.

Pike River Disaster Memorial

On Thursday at 2pm, the remaining student body assembled to observe two minutes silence at a memorial service. The grotto was a fitting location to reflect on the tragedy with prayers, poetry and an a lament played by Mr Olsen.

Seussical the Musical

Seussical the Musical is coming to St Kevin's! Directed by Mrs Margie Newton with Mrs Mary Haig on board as Musical Director our students will dive into the world of Dr Seuss with appearances by the Cat in the Hat, Horton and the Who's from Whoville, The Grinch and many other favourites. On stage at the College Auditorium in May next year auditions will be held in the early days of Term 1. Dig out your best striped hat and red bow tie and you could be "hearing a who" with Horton!

Hostel Orientation

Last Sunday and Monday was student orientation for our new Year 9's for 2011. We started with an afternoon tea in the Dining room on Sunday where staff were introduced and information shared. It was such beautiful weather that the students spent most of their time swimming or playing touch on the fields and it was great to see the students getting to know one another and mixing really well. Our current students were very welcoming and helped to make the new boarders feel at home. Monday was school time and an opportunity to meet the new day pupils.

The Hostel has become a relatively quiet place with only the Year 9 and Year 10 students still in residence. The last of the senior exams finished on Wednesday and we hope all the students will reap the reward of their hard work.

Year 9 students had a day off on Wednesday due to strike action. The boys willingly did some spring cleaning and then went off for a game of ten pin bowling. Some of the girls also went bowling, while the others took the opportunity to get some retail therapy in.
