Principal's Comment

 Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

Welcome back to Term 2. I spoke at assembly this week about our mission for this term being around trying to re-establish a much more 'normal' school culture where we have the opportunity to mix, perform and compete as well as to open our school once again to whānau. This week we have put that mission into practice by having our Student Led Conferences, our Cross Country and yesterday we enjoyed an afternoon of liturgy and fun to celebrate Edmund Rice Feast Day.

Next week we are inviting all parents new to the College to attend our BBQ on Friday evening and we are also looking forward to our Māori Whānau Hui which will be held in June so please keep an eye open for that notice.

Covid is still in our community, but as restrictions lessen, we are taking every opportunity to re engage with students and families. Today we have 7 students away with Covid and a further 8 isolating. This number has held steadily since the beginning of the week. Over half of our teachers have now had Covid and so we are hoping that the College will be much more settled this term than last.

I would like to finish today with a HUGE congratulations to Camden Burge for the way he ran the Cross Country today. He was an absolute running machine, not only finishing first by a huge margin but then running back to cross the line with his friends! Well done Cam.

Have a great weekend

God Bless

Jo Walshe
