Welcome to Term 4!
We’re so glad to be back together for Term 4 - it’s going to be a busy, exciting term with so many wonderful experiences for our tamariki! Keep an eye out for the Term 4 calendar (coming home soon for the fridge!) so you can stay on top of all the action.
This term the children will enjoy transition afternoons, spending time in their new classes for 2026 and getting to know their teachers and classmates. The Seasons for Growth programme will also be starting, supporting students with grief and loss.
There’s lots more to look forward to: the Year 6 & 7 overnight retreat, Year 4 & 5 Tent City adventure, the Year 8 Moving On Conference, and the Year 7 Hauora Conference. Plus, fun events like the Intermediate Dance, Crazy Colour Day, class trips, and of course our end-of-year Prizegiving.
Our faith life will be especially rich this term as we celebrate St Teresa’s Feast Day, First Holy Communions, our Nativity, and the beautiful Hands of Christ Mass. Alongside this, children will be busy finishing off their stewardship class projects for He Māra, our Enviroschools garden project, while also enjoying athletics, outdoor learning, and plenty of hands-on activities.
It’s a term full of growth, joy, and celebration - we can’t wait to share every moment with you and your whānau!
