Week 1, Term 3, 2019

Hi everyone

We hope you all had a lovely holiday! I had a very busy first week in Dunedin spending time with grandchildren, then Dave and I detoured to Melbourne so he could meet our newest little granddaughter before spending the rest of the week relaxing in the sun in Fiji. 

What's happening?
Interviews: are on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you have not booked an interview and would like one, please email me at suewright@stgerards.school.nz or see me before school to arrange a time.

Book Fairfrom Ashton Scholastic (Lucky Books) is running from Monday to Thursday this week. The books are on display in the hall which is open from 8:30 - 9am and then again after school.

Friday = Dress up as your favourite book character and bring the book to share. There will be a parade starting at 11am

PMP will start on Thursday Week 2 as we are unable to use the hall this week because of the book fair. We still need parents to put their names on the list on Room 7's door to help with this programme. We need 3 parents each Thursday morning for the programme to run effectively.

Cross Country: The school competition will be held next Wednesday 31st July at 1pm. In preparation for this we will be using daily fitness time to bring our running skills up to speed. Please wear sports uniform and running shoes from now until the cross country.  Mr Yeoman is the organiser of this event and will be delighted to hear from you if you are able to help as a track marshall on the day.  ollieyeoman@stgerards.school.nz

Mass 28th July 9am has the sacrament of Baptism where a number of students including Indie and Micaela will be baptised. This is a special "welcome" and it would be wonderful if some of our families could attend. Our Religious Education strand at the start of this term is "Sacrament" and we are learning about Baptism. This Sunday is a perfect opportunity for children to watch and take part in a Baptismal Mass.

Family Ski Days: have been booked for Wednesday 7th August and Wednesday 4th September. Watch the newsletter for further information. Families can head for the snow for a day and pay school rates.


Have a great week,

Sue and Julie
