Principal's Comment

Kia ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to last Wednesday's Graduation Mass and Prizgiving ceremonies.  The warmth of reception and friendly family feel of the occasion makes it a pleasure to host.  Congratulations to the prize winners.  Thank you to our many sponsors and thank you to to Ms Walshe, Cathy Keep and their team for ensuring that the evening ran so smoothly.  The evening culminated with the announcement of the premier academic awards.  It was an honour to present Mitchel Lowen and Emma Middlemass with the Dux and Proxime Accessit awards.
The evening also represents the changing of the guard for student leaders.  My heart felt thanks go to this year's senior leaders for the genuine hard work and committment that they have shown in all aspects of their positions.  Welcome to the new team of leaders.  We wish you every blessing in your new roles.
Last Friday evening I joined whanau and friends of Seth Humphries and GypsyMae Harihona-Harrison, to support them as they recieved their Mana Pounamu awards in Dunedin.  The evening was a showcase of young talent and leaderhip for local Maori.
As the year comes to a close for seniors, we ask that you keep them in your prayers as they battle examination nerves.  We also ask that you keep Mrs Burton and her family in your prayers as they mourn the loss of Margaret's mother who passed away on Wednesday.

May God bless you
Paul Olsen, Principal
