Principal's Comment

 Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

Firstly this week a big thank you to those of you who gave feedback around our sexuality survey. It was great to gather a range of ideas and opinions. The College is not just an educational institution for academic subjects but also has to be a reflection of the values and attitudes we have in our community. Gathering feedback in a consistent manner over a variety of topics is very important and we really appreciate it when you engage with us.

I have sent two further emails in the last week or so, one describing our new toilet development which will start being built in the next couple of weeks and the second an email asking for support for our amazing team of parents and caregivers at Te Ngakau Nui. I urge everyone to think about lending a hand now and then by registering with Sam Growcott. If everyone did one thing per year it would help so much.

A big thank you to the amazing coaches and managers who took our tournament teams away this week. We have some very tired but happy young people in our College today. It has been great to see not only some pleasing results in terms of competition places but some personal bests for players who have improved over the season. For some of our senior students this has been a bitter sweet week as it is the last time they will represent us as a College before graduating. We thank those students who are in that situation and remind them that they are SKC forever, no matter what!

I have included this picture of the volleyball social games being held for juniors at lunch time today. Volleyball is becoming very popular at school and we have supported that by ordering some new gear for the gym to support the sport.

Please remember to purchase tickets for Tea with Jane on the 27th to help with our gym upgrade. You can order online at college@stkevins.school.nz or by phoning us on 03 4371665

Have a lovely first weekend of Spring

God Bless

Jo
