Principal's Comment

 Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

This week leading to the holidays has been a busy one at the College with our continuing the process to put our new senior management team in place, finish what has been an interrupted term with our junior classes and run mock exams. Not all subjects have run exams at this stage, but departments where study for exams was largely done prior to lock down decided to continue with the scheduled 'mocks' to take the stress off students around the actual NCEA exam period.

We have also celebrated Catholic Schools day at the College with a smaller gathering of students from Year 8 at St Josephs representing their connection to our College. The students had a busy day with us with technology classes in the morning, pizza for lunch with the senior leaders and then participating in our liturgy to celebrate Catholic Education in New Zealand. One of our staff commented this week that he saw us as not only educating the students in terms of their brain but that we also educate their souls. That sentiment struck a chord with me as perfectly encapsulating the essence of what makes a Cathoolic school different.

Have a great holiday period. I urge our senior students to take time to regroup, rest and revise.

May God bless you.

Ngā mihi Nui
