Dear families, tamariki and parishioners,
I can’t thank you all enough for your love, compassion and thoughtfulness at the end of last term. I haven’t experienced kindess on such a level in my whole life. I am grateful to so many people for the messages, meals, flowers, gifts and of course your hugs! Thank you to all of you who came along for my mum's Memorial Mass; the Kapa Haka group from St Peter's along with our tamariki were outstanding. My family in the UK certainly appreciated you all looking after me.
This week we welcome Thea Kubala (Ella's little sister) and Charlie O'Neill (Thomas' little brother). Congratulations on starting school.
We start this term just as we ended the last one with a busy old time. This term we have the production to look forward to, a cultural festival for the Junior school, Social Justice Week, Te wiki o te Reo Māori, sporting events and of course a whole lot of learning.
Each week Fr Jaime will be celebrating Mass with one of the classes. It is great to have our class Masses back as they are a wonderful opportunity to meet extended family members, for families to see the classroom and for the children to lead the Mass. This week it was Room Kiwi's turn, next Thursday at 1.45 Room Moa will be hosting.
It's great to be back, God bless, Annie
