Kia ora Kevinian's and Friends of the College
As the major NCEA examinations are concluding and our junior's students have completed their end of year assessment, staff are busy with report writing. The focus in the College has moved to planning for the new year. The strategic planning for the 2014 Charter has reached the draft stage and I have included a link so that our wider community can have input into this important document. Draft Charter
On Wednesday the White Ribbon Riders visited the College. This visit is becoming an annual event, to raise the awareness of family violence. The large group of riders were very impressed with the passionate performance of the new haka. The whole junior school was actively involved with the preparation of food, welcome haka, speeches and karakia before morning tea. This visit is one of the events in a structured programme through our Religious Education classes that focuses on healthy relationships. In Year 12 this links to Lesley Elliot's Love Me Not programme that was piloted at St Kevin's this year. Feed back has been overwhelmingly positive and is another way we build our Special Character dimension.
On Wednesday evening the College Sports Council meet to round up the year. Our chair, Mrs Sinclair thanked the leaders of sport for their work during the year and we discussed a number of developments in risk management approach and financial funding. Thank you to all the representatives on the Council. Your community links and passion for sport have enriched the profile of sport within the College.
Today the College has held a Mufti-day to help with the Caratas appeal for the victims of the Philippines disaster. This is a practical way to help those in dire need of support at a critical time.
Finally, can you keep the Burton family in your prayers as today is the funeral of Mr Burton's mother.
Na mihi and Advent Blessings
Paul Olsen, Principal
