School Assembly

School Assembly


Most Mondays the whole school meets in Connolly hall for an Assembly. These are run by the children introducing virtues and songs. Any school notices are read out, Father James usually has a few words to say and sometimes we have a speaker is arranged for the school to listen to. Last Monday we had an Irish group perform for us.
We are unable to invite all parents as Connolly hall has a limit to the number were legally allowed in. What we want like to try is to invite parents/caregivers from one room to each week, so you get a chance to attend one of the assemblies. For Monday 7th May, any parents from room ten are invited to our assembly starting at 9:00am

Senior Syndicate Camp 2012!

At Sacred Heart Cathedral School, the Senior Syndicate is going on camp next week. This camp is held every two years at Forest Lakes Camp. The Seniors will be participating in a number of fun activities such as abseiling, horse riding, mud slide and water slide, kayaking on the lake, confidence course, swimming pools and a lot more! They have been grouped into cabins of four or more, along with some of their friends! All three of the Senior teachers are going... I wonder if the teachers are up for the mud slide??? The Senior students will be leaving by bus on Monday at 9am. We will have fun activities throughout the week until Thursday...when it's time to leave :( One of the days up there we are going to see a movie in Levin, and there are other days when we have a concert and fashion show...Wonder what the boys will be wearing hmm? Anyway, this is the end of the CAMP 2012 blog... We will be sure to keep you posted with more information and pictures! Good...bye!!! :D

Words Of Wisdom From Father James

Father James is our school Chaplin. Each week he writes something for our  newsletter. Here is this week's.

Friendship is the virtue that began our school year, with each class exploring ways of understanding and expressing its meaning.  Like all virtues, friendship is never finished with.  Not only do we always need friends we also need to keep asking ourselves what friendship is all about, why it’s so important and how I can be a really good friend.

Every school year opens with a sense of “newness”.  Teachers have a new class, students move to a new grade, some arrive from other schools and some have their very first day at school.  Such newness can make you feel a stranger, so friendship can’t afford to wait.  I’ve been very impressed by the welcome given to the new people at our school.  The blessing we had in the first week for those beginning this year, made it clear that our school wants everyone involved to feel at home.

Being friends with one another helps the life of the school and our own personal lives.  It brings trust and honesty, care, respect and joyfulness. No life needs anything more.
