"
Helpfulness "
Helpfulness
is being of service to someone.
When you are being helpful you do useful things
that make a difference . Helpfulness
can be doing something that others cannot
do for themselves, things they don’t
have time to do, or just little things that
make life easier.
We practise
Helpfulness
when we: notice
when someone needs help do
a service without being asked listen
to someone who needs to talk ask
for help when we need it

Congratulations!
The
Gospel parable of the Good Shepherd focuses on
hearing and recognising the voice of God. Those
who seek honestly will recognise in Jesus the
voice of God and will follow because Jesus, the
Good Shepherd, will lead then to " a full
and happy life."
Loving Lord, you sent Jesus to give us real life
- your life. Because we belong to you, help us
live as your children and follow Jesus by loving
others and caring for those who need help.!
School
Trip This Friday, May 13, the whole
school, is going on a trip to visit the Aquarium
in Napier. We will be travelling by bus leaving
school at 9am and returning by 5pm.
Children will need a substantial lunch, a drink
and must have their jerseys and school jackets (if
they have one) with them. They will be in their
full school uniform.
Thank you to those of you who offered to come along
and help supervise. Because we had an over abundance
of offers, I had to do a draw. Those successful
people will be contacted shortly.
A
reminder to those parents whose children
made their First Holy Communion last year
