Mrs Cunningham will be on leave until 8th May.
Last term we saw the completion of the kitchen between Ruma Korora and Kea. Mrs Gorman baked biscuits and iced them with all of the Junior team.
On the last day of term we had an Easter egg hunt which the children enjoyed.
After lunch we walked to Matawai Park and met the students who had walked from Kaiapoi. We shared prayers and reflection together before walking back to school.
Special Welcome
A warm welcome to our new students and their families. We know that you are going to enjoy your time here as part of our St Joseph’s School whanau.
Uniforms
Winter uniforms are compulsory during Terms 2 & 3. Please ensure every day your child brings their school jersey to wear indoors and their school jacket to add an extra layer of warmth when outdoors. Your child is welcome to bring along a pair of named slippers to wear in class. Please name all of your child’s belongings, so we can find the correct owner when items get misplaced.

Thank you for your continuing support, especially with your child’s home learning. The extra practice they get by reading and practicing their phonics at home with you has a positive effect on their learning progress.
