Dear
Parents / Caregivers
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou
Winter
has finally struck! One good thing is that it will hopefully
kill off the bugs that have been lurking!
Next term I will be on sabbatical. Part of my time will
be spent visiting other schools to find out how they sustain
good practice. Ms Hayes will be acting Principal for the
first five weeks of the term and Mrs O’Connor the
last five weeks. They will be supported by the rest of
the staff, the Board and I am sure the whole school community.
Enjoy
your week, Jacinta Cousins,
Principal
"
Excellence - Tino Pai Rawa"
Excellence
is giving your best to any task you do or
any relationship you have.
No matter what you are doing, excellence
means you are giving it the best that you
have to give. Excellence
is effort guided by a noble purpose.
It is a desire for perfection.
The perfection of a seed is the fruit which
grows from it. Excellence
in your life is bringing your fruits to fruition..

Congratulations!
The
second reading reminds us that the Spirit of God
dwells in us. Because of this, we need to always
remember how special we are! The Gospel invites
us to be more like children because they often
look at the world differently. After Jesus had
been teaching his disciples, he
prayed, "I thank you, God of heaven and earth.
I thank you because you show your ways to people
who are like little children. They understand
your ways better than people who think they are
clever and wise." May we too humble ourselves
and learn from You Teacher God.
