This week the College gathered for a Lenten liturgy that challenged us all to reflect on how we are living our day to day lives and more importantly how we are growing spiritually. Thank you to Father Wayne for his practical words of advice in the liturgy. As always, thanks to Helen Mulheron for music and Karen Austin and her team of student leaders for their support.
Over the weekend, the six student leaders took part in an Edmund Rice Leadership Camp in Dunedin. The focus of the retreat was sharing advice and experience with leaders of schools in the Edmund Rice tradition throughout New Zealand. St Thomas of Canterbury, Liston College, Kavanagh College and St Peter's College, Epsom were all represented. Thank you to Mrs Eatherley for driving and supporting the students during the weekend.

The date for the College House Drama Evening has been confirmed this week. For your diary, the event will be held on Thursday 21 June at 7pm in the College Auditorium. Other dates to note are the Teacher Only Day on Tuesday 27 March, making a long Exeat Weekend, The Bishop's Shield weekend on 30 March and the Excellence Assembly on April 4.
Students received feedback on their progress and engagement this week as mentors discussed Fortnightly Indicators with students. I also took the opportunity to share my expectation with students at assembly. It is important to clarify that "progress" is a measure of personal academic progress and that 3 is the minimum expected grade. It is pleasing to see that staff and students are involved in teaching and learning discussions about how to improve grades. Please discuss your son or daughter's results which should be recorded in their Student Planner.
There have been many sporting achievements over the last few weeks with some of the results following later in this blog. Sadly the Kavanagh College summer exchange was abandoned on Wednesday due to wet weather.Hopefully the Gillette Cup cricket matches to follow will enjoy better weather.
Please continue to keep Mr Ryan in your prayers.
May God Bless You All
Paul Olsen, Principal
