Friday 19th February 2021


Our ‘start of the year’ Mass is Friday the 19th of February and it would be fantastic if you could join us. Mass is at 9.00am in our Parish Church and we particularly welcome parents of new children. For new parents, our Mass normally finishes around 9.45am.


Reminders:

  • During the day we stop to have brain break which is a FRUIT OR VEGETABLE Fuel Break. Please make sure you are sending a piece of fruit for your child to have in this break.
  • Stationery needs to be brought into school - please make sure you purchase a book bag for them!
  • Hats need to be packed into your child's school bag so that they are able to play outside at morning tea and lunchtime.



I am so lucky to have a classroom full of so many personalities and it is so cool to see the relationships that they have established already. 


If you have any questions feel free to email me: shaylad@stmarysrotorua.school.nz


Ngā mihi, 

Whaea Shayla.

Kia Ora Kākano Whitu Whānau,  We hope you have been enjoying your weekend and the sun that has been shining! We are entering a very special week for our children. The Holy Week.
