A warm welcome to Week 8 to all families and students. We hope you are keeping safe in this time of COVID.

First Eucharist

A number of parents have inquired about a possible new date for the Sacrament of First Eucharist for the students in Year 4. After speaking with Father George he asked that the students continue to prepare with their family by working through their Eucharist booklet at home and completing the Eucharist tasks assigned by Mrs Hampson and Miss McCormick for remote learning. When the ‘lockdown’ ends in our area, parents and students will be informed of the new date for First Eucharist. Thank you for everything you are doing in helping to prepare your child for the First Eucharist Sacrament. 

School Counselling Wellbeing Check-In Service During Lockdown

The Catholic Education Office has informed us that during lockdown school counselling is still available. CECG’s school counselling service providers are available via Zoom and Microsoft Teams. This important resource is available for students, parents and caregivers during remote learning and lockdown. Due to this change in approach and the move to a telehealth platform, a new Informed Consent will be required. All CECG school counsellors are now using updated forms for this purpose. 

Congratulations

We send our warmest congratulations to the Baran-Tangata Family, Anna and Tukinga on the birth of their baby boy. A little brother for Noah in Year 1/2 and Lucas in Preschool. 

Prayers 

We remember all those in our school, parish and community who are sick or suffering in any way as well as those with the COVID Virus.

Wishing everyone health and peace in this uncertain time.

In all things may God be glorified
