Principal's Comment

Dear Parents and Friends of St Kevin's College

Thank you to the website team for restoring calendar functionality this week. The problematic "busy" calendar items have been corrected and the year long monthly calendar with added detail is functioning. If you have more suggestions for improvements, please email your ideas to Mrs Rae (drae@stkevins.school.nz).

The Athletics' Sports Day was blessed with a stunning North Otago day. Sunscreen was liberally dispensed and students reminded of the Slip Slop Slap message. Thank you to the Home and School team who provided a BBQ lunch option. It was pleasing to meet a number of parents during the day. The Friday format for the Swimming Sports and Athletics Day has generally been successful as it allows for the rescheduling of the events if the weather is not the best. As it is our first trial of this format, we will be reviewing format and welcome your feedback.

On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, Mr Fowler and I attended the Southern Regional Field Day in Gore which was attended by people from all over the lower South Island. This was a great opportunity to catch up with alumni, talk to current parents and answer questions posed by prospective students.

Our second Year 7 and 8 Technology Day ran smoothly alongside Athletics Sports. Thank you to the College staff who have gone the extra mile to make the progammes dovetail so effectively. It is pleasing to see the St Joseph's intermediate students gaining confidence in their surroundings and mixing effortlessly with elder brothers and sisters around the campus.

We look forward to settling down to a full week of academic study next week having completed most of our Summer House Sports Activities.

Please continue to keep Mr Ryan in your prayers.

May God Bless You All
Paul Olsen, Principal
