Principal's Comment

Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

The final week of school has gone very smoothly with our having had a successful Year 10 camp at a new location at Totara Peak Station.  This was a challenge for us this year after having lost the use of our traditional spot at Middleton through the Oahu fire, and so we scrambled to find an alternative.  I would like to thank Sonja and Jim Metherell for accommodating us and working with us to ensure that the camp was a success.  The communication, support and facilities were second to none and we look forward to other camps there in the future.  I would like to thank the staff who went on Year 10 camp with the students and in particular Mr Mat Harris who led the organization of the event.  









Back at the school, the year 9's divided their time between regular classes and some fun events such as using the waterslide and a Basketball tournament.  They finished the year very positively showing the maturity and enthusiasm we have come to expect from this group in 2020.


Our Junior Prizegiving today focused on the idea of Hope and the importance of it in making meaning in our lives.  The liturgy reinforced the idea that true Christian Hope is not about magical thinking around hoping to win Lotto or hoping to have things go all our way, but it is in the deeper sense of looking for the positive in all things and in all people.  As we move into more unchartered waters in 2021 both locally and around the world, we are aware that it is in bringing our Hope to all we say and do that brings the light of Christ to those around us. 


In this spirit, I wish you all a Merry, Positive, Hope-filled Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

May God bless you.

Mufti Days for Activity Week

Kia Ora Parents and Caregivers,

This week students will be engaged in some out of class activities. Because of this, they are allowed to be in mufti Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. They must be in Number 1's on Friday if they are receiving a prize at prizegiving, otherwise they must be in tidy summer uniform on Friday. 

We do not permit mufti which advertises alcohol, cigarettes or vaping so please ask your students to consider their choices. We also ask that clothing be appropriate in all other ways for outdoor activities in the school environment.  

On Tuesday, we hope to have our waterslide operating. Students need to bring togs or a change of underwear they can get wet as well as shorts and a tee shirt for over the top to avoid rashes from the grass. If your student has an allergy to soaps we do not recommend this activity. Please also ensure students bring a towel, sunhat and sunscreen in addition to any medications they may require. This activity is not compulsory and they do not have to participate if they do not want to. 

We will also be having a concert this week, walking the new bike track and students have a series of projects they can complete for a cash prize. We hope students enjoy these last few days as we count down to the end of the school year.

Warm regards

Ms Walshe

Help Needed for Diabetes Study

As many of you will know my daughter Bridie has Type One Diabetes. She is able to take great care of herself because she is fortunate enough to have been involved in many trials using cutting edge medical technology. 

A team at University of Otago are currently undertaking a study into the effectiveness in improving Diabetes Management using a system called the Dexcom G6 which Bridie currently uses and has had success with. In order to do that, they need a supply of phones which will run the G6 system which tests blood sugar levels every five minutes and prevents serious cases of hypoglycemia. 

In the interests of saving the planet and saving the team money, I am wondering if anyone has any old phones of the types listed below that they would like to donate to the cause. I will be more than happy accept these next week. 

Warm regards

Jo Walshe

Principals Comment

Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

Today we wrapped up our performance unit and end of year dance unit for year 10.  As usual the school has been in a heightened state of excitement over this which will only grow as next week we look forward to Junior prize giving and Year 10 Camp. 

The theme of the performance unit this year was fittingly 2020.  Students found fun and interesting ways to express what the year had meant to them.  In the case, especially of our Year 9 cohort who had a disrupted transition to secondary school, our students have coped with the changes and challenges of the year extremely well. 

Thanks goes to Mr Smith and the Physical Education department for the excellent work they do in presenting this unit and also to the Year 12 students who give up their time to help coach classes.  


Cricket has been in full force also this week as our students played in a tournament involving four schools.  I would like to again thank Mr Smith for organizing this.  The students enjoyed the experience with some wins and some losses and fortunately the weather played ball (excuse the pun)!

This morning we farewelled our long serving staff member Mr Gary Mccleery.  Gary has been with us for 19 and a half years during which time he has worked on building our computer system and running our library.  This work has increased in size and complexity over the years and we thank him very much for his faithful support of both staff and students at the college. We wish Gary the best in his retirement. 

May God bless you.

More Success for Zaria Kira

Congratulations to Year 10 student Zaria Kira who won the Otago Maori Rugby U17 Kohine MVP award last night in Dunedin.

Well done Zaria!



Ara Taster Visit

Last Friday our Year 10 students went up to Timaru to attend a taster day at the Ara Institute of Canterbury. Ara is the largest vocational training institute in the South Island.  

They got to check out a range of learning options including Hairdressing, Health and Fitness, Art and Design, Creative Minds - Early Childcare Education, Sports Performance, Beauty and Digital Technology. 

Thank you to Mrs Margaret Burton for organising this great day out for our students, and to the many staff that went and supported our students.

Willows Cricket Club Game

The 1st XI had a great day out at The Willows Cricket Club on Sunday playing in the inaugural match for the new Bob Wills trophy. 

Every Sunday during the Summer months a school plays the Willows Club with the objective to encourage players in secondary school first elevens to play with and against experienced players, many of whom are present or past first-class cricketers, and learn about the traditions of the game. This is the first year SKC has sent a stand alone team on our own merits. 

It was great to play past SKC 1st XI players Trevor Thornton (former captain) and Lance Ryan, and the game was officiated by David Reid, who also attended SKC and played in the 1st XI. A new trophy was presented to the winning team by Bob Wills who played for the 1st XI in 3rd Form in the 1940's, and will be played for in the coming years.

It was a fantastic occasion and the game was played in great spirit by both teams. Thank you to The Willows Cricket Club for hosting us, and to the parents and supporters who helped out during the day.

Short scorecard:

1st XI 179 for 5 (Harry Murphy 75, Jacob Klemick 39 not out, Lachlan Brookes 24) beat The Willows 128 all out (Harry Murphy 2 for 6) by 51 runs.














Advent Calendars for Oamaru Hospital

Yesterday 10S students delivered their homemade Advent Calendars to Colleen Myers, the Quality Risk Leader at Waitaki Health. The calendars are destined for any children who are confined to a hospital bed over the lead up to Christmas. Makayla Bean, Colleen Myers, Meg Patterson, Latisha Wilson, Lily Ellington, Isaac Braxton, and Rynea Sheehy are seen here at Oamaru Hospital Reception area showing a selection of calendars.   

The calendars are made from flax and recycled cardboard.  The flax was carefully cut to the appropriate Karakia; 

Hutia te rito o te harakeke   Kei whea, te kōmako e kō?   

Kī mai ki ahau  He aha te mea nui o tēnei ao   Māku e kī atu   He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

There is a lollie to be revealed each day over the 24 days of Advent thanks to Rainbow Confectionery. Along with the daily lollie the calendars also hold karakia and prayers to help people get through the tough times in hospital.  

This is the practical side to the students' study of a unit of work called, Expressions of Catholic Life. Students look at some Catholic traditions, such as Advent and the build-up to the birth of Jesus at Christmas. They also discovered the Catholic tradition of Giving to Others, where they have been able to apply this to a practical local situation.

St Kevin's College Mountain Bike Track

Going downhill in 2020 has not been an exceptional event, but staff and students at St Kevin’s College have taken it literally. The college in conjunction with Mountain Bike North Otago is creating a downhill mountain bike track that, it is hoped, will form part of the series of tracks available throughout the wider Oamaru area and will extend the opportunities for mountain bike riders already using the track at the Reservoir Road site. Teacher Aidan Haig, himself a keen mountain bike rider and member of MBNO described the project as “an awesome opportunity to utilize the hill area and provide a challenging track for a range of riders”. 

The track has been cut using a combination of mechanical power with Graeme McLeod and his digger carving out the wider parts of the track and through time and effort donated by students under the care of supervisor, Jimmy McGeown. Students volunteer their time as part of the school’s service award.

The hillside has, until the last year, been planted out in radiata pine, but after clearing the site, school management felt that the area would have a greater community benefit in being used for sport and being planted out in native trees to support the school’s sustainability goals. 

Calls for support in obtaining suitable native plantings have seen generous donations from the North Otago Tree Planting Association and Kerry Robb from K South Commercial Property Services and Oamaru Lawns Plus. While the track will be finished by the end of the year, the school plans to use the hill itself and its native planting as an ongoing tribute to the idea of service to the community. “If it can be a living symbol of community and recognition of service to others, and if it can be enjoyed by the people of North Otago, then we feel we have come to a good place” Principal Mr Paul Olsen stated.

Principal's Comment

Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

This week has been extremely busy with students heading off to Aoraki sporting competitions and with Seniors continuing on with their NCEA examinations.  We are also getting ready to start the building project of refurbishing our Food Technology area which, while it will be a short term upheaval, will greatly enhance our capacity to deliver quality teaching and learning in the technology space.  I would like to publicly thank our staff in advance for dealing with the inevitable inconvenience that will come from this project. 


The end of the year is an exciting time for our students and it is an opportunity for many departments to look for learning experiences that are a little less formal than at other times of the year.  It has been wonderful to see students making movies and dances, engaging with Kapa Haka through the performance unit and enjoying art and design projects that are of local curriculum design.  Encouraging our students to participate in areas of the curriculum where they can express through creativity, who they are and what they value in their own lives, is a wonderful thing.


A recent development that has been a great success is the creation of our competitive volleyball teams.  These teams are going from strength to strength in local competitions and have given students another opportunity for  developing their sporting and team building capabilities. I would like to thank Mrs Laraga for the support, mentoring and practical help she has given to these students to establish the teams. 


Have an enjoyable weekend.

May God bless you.

Principal's Comment

Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,
This week has been a funny mixture of goodbyes and welcomes as we celebrated our leavers on Wednesday night and this Friday welcomed our new Year 9s for 2021.

As teachers we are in the position of being able to help students transition through what are often the most important years of their lives in the college environment and at the end of the day its our role to ensure that we have helped parents and caregivers to nurture students through to being the best people they can possibly be. On Wednesday I joined with our community in celebrating that. I am extremely proud of the young people we are sending out into the community and we feel sure that they will contribute to New Zealand economically, socially and spiritually.


Today Mr Harris ran a very successful orientation day for the one hundred Year 8 students coming next year. Our orientation focuses on ensuring that the students understand that this is a place where they can feel safe to be themselves and to make lasting friendships. We focus on having fun, making friends and feeling confident to interact with other students like prefects and existing Year 9s. It is very important to us that students go home over the holidays and have the feeling that St Kevin's is a welcoming place that they want to come back to in the New Year.

Hopefully this lovely sunshine will last through the weekend.

May God bless you.

Looking for Native Plants

We are on the lookout for some plants for our Native Bird Conservation area behind the College. This includes the school Mountain Bike Track that is currently under construction. 

This is a joint project with the North Otago Mountain Bike Association, North Otago Tree Society, the Leo's Club as well as a large working party within the College. 

If anyone has any plants excess to requirements in their garden we would love to take them off your hands! Ideally natives, flax, tussocks, norfolk pine etc that can feed the butterflies and birds. 

If you are able to help, please contact Sarah Clapperton sclapperton@stkevins.school.nz to arrange pick up.
