Omicron and us
We currently have 17 confirmed cases isolating at home.
We currently have 29 people isolating as household contacts.
30 people have returned from isolation.
We have dropped off 69 home activity packs for students who are well but isolating.
With around half of the school away we are not running as usual. Today we have 3 classes running. Year 1 and 2 in Room 1, Year 3, 4 and 5 in Room 5 and Years 6, 7 & 8 in Room 6.
It is truely wonderful to see how resilient and adaptable your children are. They come to school happy and are ready to work and learn. It doesn't matter what room they are in. They know they are safe and cared for and they just get on with the fun of learning and playing together.
Thank you for all you are doing to support your children and your school in these interesting times.

Greedy cat has ginger fur
He is greedy
He has whiskers
He has blood.
In his mouth he has teeth.
He has claws
He has paws
He has a heart inside him.
He has bones inside him.

My dog is called Blue
He licks my hand and I like it.
When I get out of the car he comes to me.

PRAYER FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE
Holy and Gracious God
We pray for the people of the Ukraine, for their country and their leader.
We pray for all those who are afraid; that your everlasting arms hold them in this time of great fear.
We pray for all those who have the power over life and death; that they will choose for all people life, and life in all its fullness.
We pray for leaders on the world stage; that they are inspired by the wisdom and courage of Christ.
Above all, Lord, today we pray for peace in Ukraine and we ask this in the name of your blessed Son. Lord have mercy. Amen
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.
