Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Friends of St Kevin's College


The Lions Young Speech Maker Competition, St Thomas of Canterbury Inter-school, The Big Sing, Year 12 Retreats,  Kapahaka Group Training and Drama Practices  all serve to highlight the richness and diversity of co-curricular life at the College. These come along side the weekly academic, sporting and cultural activities that our students are dedicated to. Having attended the Edmund Rice Network meeting last weekend, I have been reflecting on the challenge of the Christian Brother's Leader, Br. Philip Pinto, to make our schools a place were students can "find and follow their bliss". I am proud that St Kevin's College is helping our students to have a passion for learning and are actively engaged in such a range of rich learning experiences. 

With learning as our core business, I am pleased to report that this weekend you should receive the first of our Fortnightly Indicator emails. This is a trial run for our system and as with any venture of this scale there are bound to be implementation issues, however, I am confident the results will establish a powerful caregiver link to learning. 

With this development work and report writing foremost for staff, I am rescheduling the end of term Excellence Assembly to the start of the new term. I aim to begin by celebrating academic achievement and creating an academic focus for the third term. 

Please keep Mr Ryan in your prayers as his treatment progresses and also the family of past pupil John Young who passed away this week. Our condolences go to his wife Janet and children Hannah and Jono who also attended the College.

God Bless You All

Paul Olsen, Principal
