Principal's Comment

Kia ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College

As I write my final blog for the term, I have been reflecting on the many rich learning experiences and opportunities to grow, that the College has provided for our young people this term. I am immensely grateful to the many people, in a range of roles, that have gone the extra mile for students, at a personal cost of time, petrol or money. This motivation to help is embodied in our values and reflected in our relationships.



We saw this community spirit and support in action at last weekend's Catholic Secondary Schools Tournament. To come away with the winning trophy was an added bonus. Thank you to everyone who helped make this such an enjoyable occasion. Pictured above are senior leaders with Mr Smith, holding some of the trophies.

On Wednesday we had our talented swimmers competing at the Aoraki Swimming Championships. Thank you to Jo Gilbert, Mr Farrell and Mrs Clapperton for arranging transport and supporting our participation. It was pleasing to see a number of records tumble along with many individual PB's.

Today we celebrated an Easter Liturgy, as on Friday our staff are working with renowned educator, Mel Stopford, from Evaluation Associates,  as part of our involvement with the Whitestone Community of Learning. Thank you to Mr Mullally and Fr Wayne for your contribution.

We wish everyone a safe, happy and holy Easter and look forward to seeing you back at school on Monday 29th of April.
