 Wiki Wha - Week 4


Kia Ora Koutou, happy Rātapu (Sunday)


We hope you have been enjoying your weekend and have been enjoying the sunshine when it has decided to pop out from behind the clouds. 


School Start Time: 

Please remember school starts at 8:45am.  The teachers mark the roll  at this time and if your child is not here at this time they are marked as absent. If they do get dropped off after 8:45am they will need to go to the office to be marked present for the morning. 


Keeping Ourselves Safe: 

We will be starting our Keeping Ourselves Safe Learning in Kākano this week and for the next few weeks as well. We are very excited to continue and strengthen the childrens’ learning from Harold with the help of our New Zealand Police, keeping ourselves safe programme. If you do have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to email or drop in and chat to one of the teachers in our space.

This week we have the Assumption of Mary Liturgy on Thursday at 12:15pm in our school hall. All parents, caregivers and whānau are more than welcome to attend. 


PB4L - Parents Chat Night

PB4L - Have you ever wondered...

  • What St Mary's does to support wellbeing and good mental health? 

  • How St Mary's manages student behaviour?

  • What to do if your child isn’t feeling happy at school?

Childcare will be provided for those who need it.  Come along and enjoy some light refreshments and good conversation.

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.

Holiday Reminders

What a wonderful and busy term we had!! All of the children deserve a restful holiday break! On the last day of school, a few items were sent home for the students to carry on their reading over the holidays. You will find this in a clear plastic sleeve in their book bags. All of the students will have: 4 books These are intended to be read by the children over the break. 2 books a week, just like if they were at school.

I have assigned 2 books that you can work through with the children. They will need sound on the device to fully participate in and complete the activities. Please don't feel pre
