Dear Parents / Caregivers
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou

We have had a great start to the year. All the children are settled and happy which is lovely to see.
On Thursday we celebrate our Feast Day. Hopefully you have all received your invitation to join us for morning tea and a welcome liturgy out at Bledisloe Park at Massey. See you there.

" Honour"

Honour is living with a sense of respect for what you believe is right.
It is living by the virtues, showing great respect for yourself, other people and the rules you live by.
When you are honourable you are worthy of respect.
You set a good example.

We practise honour when we:
practise our virtues
keep our word
respect rules we want to live by
do what we believe is right no matter what
set a good example for others
avoid doing things which make us feel ashamed.
