Dear
Parents / Caregivers
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou
Sorry
the weather wasn’t the best last Thursday for our
Feast Day and that we didn’t make it out to Bledisloe
Park. We went to mass instead where we welcomed our new
children who started this year and their families, Mr
Davidson our new teacher and our new priests, Father Chris
and Father Des. The children also enjoyed an ice-block
each to celebrate our special day.

"
Orderliness - Whaka Tikatika "
Orderliness
is being neat and living with a sense of harmony.
It is having a place for things you use and
keeping them there so that you can use them
whenever you need to.
It means planning something so that it works.
Being orderly makes it easier
to accomplish things.
We
practise orderliness when
we:
have a place to put things put
things away in the same place when we finish
using them have
a plan before we start any job solve
problems step by step
