St Bernadette's School Newsletter
23rd March 2022
Have we peaked?
Thank you for continuing to watch for symptoms and keeping anyone who is not well home. We are grateful for your consideration of the rest of the school. We have 15 confirmed positive cases isolating at home at this time.
We have had closer to 65% attendance in the last couple of days so that is an improvement from 50% last week.
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE
Pope Francis has asked all Catholics around the world to dedicate this Friday as a day of prayer for peace in the Ukraine.
Here in the St Bernadette's Church Barbara will be leading the Rosary at 10am and 3pm for anyone who would like to join her. The usual Friday in lent Stations of the Cross will also be happening at 7pm. In addition to those three invitations Barbara will be happy to unlock the church for anyone who would like access at any other time on Friday.
Changes for Room 4
Ms Bhana is on leave until her maternity leave begins. We wish Ms Bhana and her family all the very best as they look forward to the arrival of their new baby.
Nella Stowers is going to be the Room 4 teacher for the rest of the year. Many of you will know Nella and we are happy to welcome her back to St Bernadette's School staff.
Ms Stowers begins with Room 4 on the 8th of April. Until then Ms Galuszka and I are sharing responsibility for Room 4.

New Newsletter, website and app
It is great to see more and more people using the app. We are now up to 70 users. This is especially handy for us to communicate up to date information to you and you letting us know about absences or sending messages through. Our app will improve and grow in time as we put more and more on it, it will become more and more useful.
To get the app on your device go to the app store. Search "SchoolAppsNZ" and download the app onto your device. Then search St Bernadette's School in that app.
Attendance dues
Please do not let attendance dues be a stress for you and your family. Regular payments are the best way to go but if at anytime you are worried about attendance dues - please come and see me. I can help.
