Last Friday all of Year 7 spent the day at the Hokonui Runanga for their Retreat. The theme was “Building Community”. A variety of activities took place aimed at getting to know members of their year group that they did not know very well. Mass was celebrated by Fr Damian in the morning. We were grateful to have Keira, Molly, Ben and Rocco from Year 12 come and lead some of the activities. Everyone came away feeling glad that they had the chance to get to know someone else and looked forward to continuing these friendships. Last week some of our students spent time at St Mary’s school teaching some of the St Mary’s students (Tuakana - Teina) the Kapa Haka as part of the Matariki celebrations on Friday. Awesome work, you did a great job.
