Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Friends of St Kevin's

Last Friday it was a pleasure to be able to host our College helpers at the Redcastle.  There are a number of parents on the Home & School Association that are moving on from the College as the last in the family graduates this year.  I am keen to have as many new parents as possible coming forward to take their place in this important College body.  If you would like to know more, email college@stkevins.school.nz.

The College pool has been full of kayaks with local instructors helping Mr Haig with the skills development in preparation for the Year 10 Camp and Retreat.  Students have been arranging extra gear and are looking forward to the many challenges in the week ahead.  Thank you in advance to the staff who have been preparing our students for this superb EOTC experience.

This weekend is the senior Graduation Dinner at the Homestead.  I am looking forward to this final farewell.  Parents, staff and leavers all gather for a liturgy and meal to celebrate the achievements of this impressive year group.  A reminder that the official Prizegiving video is available for purchase.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of two key staff: Mrs Heather Mellor to the Head of the Technology Faculty and Mrs Janette Potter to the Head of Mathematics.  I would like to congratulate them on their appointment and wish them every blessing in their work, which commences next year.

May God Bless You
