Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,
Today has been a lovely last day of term here at the College with the sun shining brightly, the students settled and enjoying the thought of two weeks of freedom and the staff, no doubt, doing much the same!
While many of our community will be back to work on Monday, there is at least a feel for all of us that the cloud may be lifting with our move to Orange Covid restrictions. Our approach next term will be that while masks are voluntary in schools, we do ask that students wear them in assembly and in the chapel where we have a lot of students together for the first few weeks whilst we monitor developments. I have explained our reasoning for this to the students and I have also reminded them that some staff and students may wish to continue to wear masks full time as they strive to protect themselves or vulnerable family members.
Today our Easter liturgy focussed on the idea of Christ as a changing force in the world and in history. It was great to see our students participating in the service through speaking, videos and singing. Anika Winders sang the song which won her the Te Reo Maori Award in the NZ Commission Hook Line and Sing-A-Long competition "Te Timatanga O te ao" and did a wonderful job.
Next term we are planning on running a number of events at the College. Please keep an eye on the Facebook Page and on our emails. The first of these is the Student Led Conferences on the first Friday back. Please make a booking and come in to hear how your young person is tracking and what their next steps will be.
Happy Easter
God Bless
Jo Walshe
