OUR SCHOOL VIRTUES: Faith – Whakapono Hope – Tūmanako Love – Aroha Charity – Manaakitanga
Bienvenido, Bula, Welcome, The term is flying by very quickly! Tomorrow we celebrate a very special birthday of a very special staff member Jo Louden. Please join with us in wishing her the very best of OLR Birthday wishes!
The Star Gazing last Thursday evening was a great success. Thank you to Sarah Rangiwhetu for organising the evening. Thank you to Peter and Edward Wilcock and Anthony Gomez for bringing along their fabulous telescopes and sharing of their extensive knowledge of the night skies. It was great to see all the families who could come and join this special evening.
Our cultural group are working very hard towards the Polyfest Festival which takes place on Tuesday 3rd July. This is truly a wonderful event when all schools come together and celebrate culture through music, dance and speeches. In the evening of Thursday 28th June we will get a sneak preview of our OLR school performance at a dress rehearsal.
Mid-year reporting to families - Year 3-8 reports will be given to families at the end of next week to support students’ learner agency and inform parents/caregivers of how they can continue to support their child at home.
As you are aware our staff are attending the scheduled Teachers Union Meeting on the afternoon of Friday 29th June. You are most welcome to collect your child/ren at 1pm on Friday 29th June. Remaining students will be supervised by a staff member until 2.50pm (end of school day). Please complete the Signmee Response form NO by Friday 22nd June 2018.
Sacramental Programme - Update - Firstly, a big congratulations to all of the students who participated in their First Reconciliation last week. We are now looking towards the candidates preparing themselves for their Confirmation day. The confirmation programme this year will be a special RE retreat day for the candidates. This Retreat Day will be held on Tuesday 24th July during the school day. We are planning a programme where the children will cover the 3 lessons which are normally covered in Confirmation preparation. Father will be invited to talk to the group about the significance of the Sacrament and the children will participate in a prayer session. This programme should be a very special way for the children to prepare themselves fully for their Confirmation day which takes place on Sunday 5th August at 5.30pm at Sacred Heart Petone Church. Jane Carter, DRS
Intermediate sharing of learning - We shared Samoan myths and legends with Room 0 and Room 10. We created interactive plays, puppets, videos and kahoot games to explain a different legend. So much fun and learning took place!

STUDENT COUNCIL FUNDRAISER FIFA World Cup, Russia 2018 This FRIDAY 22nd June 2018
The Student Council is looking to fundraise to help buy new soccer nets. Because the FIFA World Cup is on, we thought it was appropriate to hold a soccer themed fundraiser. Please bring a GOLD COIN and dress up in your favourite FIFA country’s colours. There are 32 teams, so pick your favourite! All money raised will go towards the new nets. Thank you for supporting this fun event.
