Greetings from St Bede's

Mr Justin Boyle —

We ended this week with a Conference Day for Seniors. This is an important day for the boys where they receive an accurate gauge of how they are progressing academically. 

For many, the news was encouraging. For others, it was a sobering week as they found out how much they have to do leading up to the NCEA Exams in November.

Throughout the course of the day over 250 families took the opportunity to discuss their son’s academic progress. These conversations are vital. We know shared relationships based on learning play an integral role in ensuring each boy reaches his full potential. I encourage you to continue to engage in learning conversations with your son as the end of the year draws near. 

Progress on our three building projects is heartening. The generally settled weather has certainly helped over the last two months. The Grimes Art and Food Technology block now has the roof on and most of the windows installed and on track for completion at the end of the year.

Until next time,

Justin Boyle
