At Mass last Sunday evening, the Edmund Rice Singers were commissioned. Thank you to Helen Mulheron for her work with the choir who are already showing considerable talent. The Edmund Rice Singers enrich the Sunday evening Mass with their music and instrumental support and we look forward to hearing them contribute to our liturgies during the year.
On Monday evening our newly established Sports Council met for the first time this year. Details of the council's membership and mission are included later in the blog. I am pleased to be able to work alongside such keen, talented and committed members of the Oamaru community. Their knowledge and skills will help to enhance sports participation and enjoyment at all levels within the College. One of the initiatives being explored by the Council is a Sports Awards Evening to be held at the conclusion of the winter sports season. It is envisaged that this event would include a guest speaker and presentations of sports awards in a convivial setting. This will be an opportunity for our wider community to celebrate sporting achievement at the College. To help with your diary planning, the tentative date proposed is Saturday 15th of September.
On Tuesday evening our Home and School Association had their AGM. Following the official segment, the girls who went on the India Immersion Trip gave a presentation about their experiences. I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank the Home and School team for the work that they do for the College Community. Without their help, we would not enjoy many of the extras that make education at St Kevin's College so special.
Following meetings with the Principals and Sports Coordinators of Waitaki Boys' and Girls' High Schools this week, I am pleased to be able to report that the combined Colleges will be holding an inter-school fixture on June 29. We plan to extend the range of sports being played on this end of term Friday and anticipate most students being involved in at least one activity during the day. The community will then gather to support the College in the traditional netball and rugby games as usual in the afternoon. More details will follow closer to the time.
