Term 1 Week 5

-

 Kia Ora Kākano Whānau, 


We are almost halfway through the term! We are so proud of how the children have been working and interacting in class and at school. It is awesome to see the clicks and friendships that the students have made with each other over the past few weeks. Please keep encouraging your children to do their jobs in the morning all by themselves!


We have a few important notices for this week: 


It has been announced that we will be returning to COVID-19 Alert Level Two. That means that there will be a few changes around the school with drop-off, pickups, and school events such as the Gala. 


School Gates: Our school gates will not be unlocked until 8:30am during Level 2. Students will not be able to enter the school grounds until 8:30am. Gates will be locked again from 9:00am - 2:45pm. If you need to enter school grounds you will need to use Carnot St Gate.


After School procedures: School will finish at 2.45pm for all Kākano students and their siblings. Kakano students will be taken to the Church car park gate by a teacher. If your child is in a Kakano class and you want your child taken to a different gate please advise the class teacher which gate you want your child taken to. If it is raining at the end of a school day we will need some help and parents will be allowed to collect their child from outside their classroom.


Parent Information: Parents are encouraged to drop off their children at the gates. But if necessary you may come onto school grounds as long as you have signed in with the COVID tracer app at the gate. You will not be allowed to enter the classrooms.

Gala Update: Gala Day has been postponed and an alternative date will be announced after the PTA gathering tomorrow. 

Thank you to all the families who have contributed to the Gala Collections. From Monday we will also be delaying the collecting of goods for this week and will keep you posted on when that will start again. 

 What is happening this week? 


This week is a swimming week! Please make sure that all children have their swimming togs and towel every day.


We had a house event earlier this term, Tug o War. We all dressed up in our house colours (Mackillop/Blue -  Pompallier/ Green - Mill Hill/Red and Whakaue/ Yellow).  St Mary’s has decided to do Golden Time Fridays with House groups. This week Mackillop was picked at random. Please check your midweek post to find out more information. 


Monday - Normal School Day - Swimming


Tuesday - Normal School Day - Swimming


Wednesday - Normal School Day - Swimming


Thursday - Normal School Day - Swimming


Friday - Library Day  -  Assembly  - Sausage Sizzle and Juicy Friday - House Golden Time.


We hope you have had an awesome weekend, 

Kākano Teachers.

Welcome to Kakano 5!!! I hope you've all had a great break. A little bit about me: My name is Sany-Joy Mareroa. I have been at St Mary's for 2 years now and look forward to my third year here with this new class as Kakano 5! I grew up in Rotorua with my parents and younger sister. I really enjoy the outdoors, traveling and walking! I went to Dunedin to study teaching then worked in Auckland. I am so happy to be back here in Rotorua after 10 years and working at this amazing school!! Please don't hesitate to contact me during the year if you have any questions or concerns. I am always here to help. This blog will be updated every single week during the school term! Here are a few important reminders: SCHOOL APP 📱 We have a new school app. We suggest you install and set this app from School Apps NZ then search for St Mary's Catholic School Rotorua. Make sure you set up for the notifications you wish to receive. Alternatively, you can go to this link https://schoolappsnz.
