“The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone
else up.”
Mission statement: We are a Catholic School that is Christ centered and lives Mercy values. Our mission is to nurture faith, to grow community, and to achieve excellence.
Value for the Term 3: Respect. Respect is about recognizing the gifts of the people around you, while being responsible for our own actions and choices.
What’s Happening This Week
Greetings Welcome back to school for Term 3. A special wel-come to our new families. Our new enrolments take our roll to 201. I hope that you all had a great break with your children. We were certainly blessed with great weather. We have a busy term ahead. We have the Cultural Festival as a highlight and the Year 8’s have their annual trip to Wellington. You will note other events from the Class Newsletters that are sent home. In place of Values Assembly next week, we have a performance of the NED Show. (Never give up. Encourage others. Do Your best) The NED Show visits 2 million students in 5000 schools every year in The USA, Canada, Australia, the UK and New Zea-land. This is a 45-minute character education assembly that promotes positive attitudes and encourages students to do their best every day. We believe that this show will fit in very well with our Mercy Values. We do not pay for the show but are asked to sell Yo-yos and accessories to the children. It would be great if you could support this. Please see the note attached to the newsletter providing more information. I spoke with Father Michael during the holidays while he was in Singapore. He is having a great trip and has recently been on retreat in Jerusalem. He has had many wonderful experiences in the Holy Lands. Best wishes Denis

From the DRS
Catholic Social Teaching (CST) is based on the belief that God has a plan for creation, a plan to build his
kingdom of peace, love and justice. It holds that God has a special place in this story for each of us, whoever
we are. Our part in this plan isn’t just limited to things ‘spiritual’, or things we might do on Sundays, but
that it involves every aspect of our lives, from the things we pray about, to how we live as a responsible
global citizens.
During Terms 1 and 2 teachers in many of our schools, teachers have been learning about Catholic Social
Teaching. How much do you know? How quickly can you complete this simple quiz!
Prayer Packs
This week’s Prayer Packs go to Marian, Issac, Nina, Jessica, Delaney, Xavier, Connor and Daniel.
