This week has been rather condensed with Otago Anniversary Day on Monday and Otago wide professional development for secondary teachers occurring on the Tuesday. The focus of the Teacher Only Day was to gain a shared understanding of the newly aligned NCEA Level 2 standards, directly from the national experts. The professional discussion and new resources that have been shared on the day were appreciated and will insure that St Kevin's College keeps abreast with curriculum and assessment developments.
This weekends Bishop's Shield Competition which is being hosted at St Kevin's this year, was showcased at our Wednesday Assembly. Both Junior and Senior Drama's took centre stage, with performers having the chance to become comfortable acting before an audience of peers. We wish the students and staff every success and cordially invite our community to join us over the weekend. On Saturday evening, the Bishop will celebrate Mass in the College Chapel at 7pm. I look forward to meeting parents and whanau during the course of the weekend.
The All Blacks Road Show and the Maadi Cup rounded out a week of academic, sporting and cultural endeavour. Our best wishes go to our rowers in the finals on Friday and Saturday as they compete in the Maadi Cup Regatta at Lake Ruataniwha, the Bishop's Shield team and the Athletics team who are competing at the South Islands this weekend in Nelson. We also have kayakers at the Nationals next week and Geography and Physical Education Field Trips as the term concludes. We pray that everyone involved achieves to their potential and they have safe travel.
