School Mass
Our school & community mass is on Saturday, August the 14th at St Patrick's Church in Waipawa at 5.30 pm - please note the change of venue and time.
All students need to attend in full school uniform and arrive at 5.10 pm. Students will be sitting up the front of the church.
Please bring some spare change for the offertory collection (this is when the basket is passed around).
School Cross-Country
The students will be bused to the event and parents can meet the student there and take them home from the event. Please let their classroom teacher know before you leave.
At the end of the cross-country, we will have a colour fun game between school houses.
School Fun Run 2021
Once again we will be taking part in the online fundraising school fun run. This year we are raising funds for the sacred space and for ongoing costs to maintain it. Last year we received a grant from the Palmerston North Dioceses and were able to make a start but to get it finished we need to make a push and have it completed by the end of the year if not sooner. A letter went home on Friday the last day of term 2 along with the student's fundraising booklet. We will again use the school's cross country on the 27th of August as the run.
How it works: 60% of the funds raised go to the school, the other 30% go towards the student prizes and 10% goes to the organisation for setting up and managing the fundraising page.
So far we have already raised $2500, great job team - keep up the awesome effort!
Only 4 weeks until our school cross-country.
MESSAGE FROM OUR SCHOOL LEADERS
Ki Ora everyone, welcome back. The first week of this term was a great start to the term. We did our Ngati Whai practice all last week. Next week on Saturday night we have our school mass which is going to be at the Waipawa church. We have raised $2,528 dollars so far for the fun run. Next week is the Ongaonga 7s. It is a fun day out playing sports. Make sure to have the correct gear for the sport you are playing and play fair. Make sure to have a great week.

CATHOLIC CHARACTER
Feast Day 6th August
The Transfiguration of the Lord - In the New Testament, the Transfiguration of Jesus is an event where Jesus is transfigured and becomes radiant in glory upon a mountain. ... In these accounts, Jesus and three of his apostles, Peter, James, and John, go to a mountain (later referred to as the Mount of Transfiguration) to pray.
Interesting facts -The Transfiguration is the last painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael. Commissioned by Cardinal Giulio de Medici, the later Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), and conceived as an altarpiece for the Narbonne Cathedral in France, Raphael worked on it until his death in 1520. From the late 16th century until the early 20th century(Renaissance era), it was said to be the most famous oil painting in the world.
