First Holy Communion
Congratulations to those who received their
First Holy Communion at Mass this morning, to their extended families for
their support, and to the wider parish family for their prayers and support. Thank you also to
those who contributed morning tea. The children looked amazing, and were
delighted with their special morning tea celebration afterwards. They have now
completed the Sacramental Programme, and we wish them all God’s blessings as
they continue their faith journey.
Certificates:
Certificates for those who received First
Holy Communion will be given out at Whole School Prayer on Monday morning.
Yoghurt-Design Competition:
Thank you to Lisa Reilly for agreeing to
come in last Thursday to judge our Yoghurt-Design competition. The children did
really well to create original, healthy and yummy flavours, considering that
the plain natural-flavour yoghurt that we made as a baseline was quite bitter.
Most
original: Keira and Zaria
Most
healthy: Jacqui, Rhianna
and Angus
Most
yummy: Tadhg and Frans
Congratulations to these winners, and well
done everyone.
We all got to enjoy the tasting afterwards,
and Tadhg’s and Frans’s yoghurt was judged the yummiest in the peer-assessment
as well!

you received a notice about this from the children last week. We are planning a
bike ride along the Rail Trail as part of our LEOTC programme for 2016. We have
scheduled this for Friday 9th December. For this Rail Trail event we require
ten parents to accompany us. Please email me asap: markelleward@stgerards.school.nz if you are available to join us.
Have a great week. Markelle J
