Whole School Mass

We are excited to be sharing a special Assumption of Mary Mass this Sunday 14th August. You will not want to miss the sensational singing and involvement of our students in this service. We ask that all students be present looking sharp in the school uniform. Following mass, we will enjoy a light refreshment in the hall foyer. If each family can bring a plate of finger food to share that would be most appreciated.

Drop off and Pick up times

As the wind swirls and the rain falls heavily from the sky it is super important to be mindful when dropping off and picking up our students. Our drop off time is 8.25 am at the earliest to 8.50 am and pick up time is 2.55 pm. A reminder that children and parents need to use the school crossing on Russell Street if coming along this route. When dropping your child/children off by car please either park on the side of the road or use the church car park. Please keep an eye out for children in the car park. Don’t park on the yellow lines or in the bus zone or use the staff car park. You can drop the student off on River Tce as there is a stile they can use.

Parents are welcome to drop off and pick up students from their classrooms. Keep safe!

We have split the Mini and Kwiks into 2 pools to complete another round.
Thank you to the volunteers that make our hockey such a success each season!
Friendly reminder about the Mini Sticks (Wednesday nights), ALL coaches/supporters must be at the end of the fields, not on the side lines (to make it fair to all).
Please respect our young umpires, there would be no games if they were not there
Under 13’s – LNI (Lower North Island) Tournament is the 8-10th October ’22 and we would like to take a girls (in Manawatu) and boys (in Wanganui) team this year…
Details to come, this will be along the lines of Kwik Sticks, with lead up with training and fundraising (may be required to keep costs down)
Fun Sticks
Please note this will be the last Saturday for Fun Sticks at St Josephs, which has been well supported with up to 30 children a week
