Dear Parents and Whānau,

As part of our upcoming External Catholic Special Character Review, members of our community are warmly invited to meet with the reviewers on Wednesday 21 October from 2.15pm - 2.55pm in the staffroom. 

We currently have five parent participants signed up, and we would really appreciate a few more to help ensure we have a well-rounded representation of our school community.  Please reply to this email to let us know if you are able to attend.

Additionally, the Diocesan Evaluation team wishes to understand the impact our school is having on you and your child/children by completing this brief survey. It is very quick (less than 5 minutes) and can easily be done on your phone! So far there are only 18 responses so we would appreciate a greater voice from our school community. 

Thank you in advance for your time and contributions to this Evaluation.

Ngā mihi, 

On behalf of Michal Petrus (Presiding Board Member) and Vincenza Golding (Principal)

Dear Parents and Caregiver,

Our full school Athletics day will be held on Friday 20th November 2026 at Dilworth School - Market Road - this is a full school day event.

In order for this event to be successful for our tamariki we require lots of parent support to help run the athletics stations. 

If you are able to volunteer your time on this day please email Miss Bagnall at c.bagnall@smcs.school.nz

Any questions / queries please don't hesitate to contact me by Monday 19th October at the very latest.

Dear families,

World Mission Sunday 2026 is celebrated on Sunday 18 October 2026, marking the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday. The New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference (NZCBC) has called on parish and school leaders to renew their commitment to global missionary work. 

On the Centenary Year of World Mission Sunday

• PRAY that everyone will hear the call

• DO what one can to help everyone hear the call and

• DONATE to the Pope’s missionary endeavours to join Pope Leo XIV to be One in Christ, United in Mission. 

The NZ Catholic Schools Challenge is to raise the equivalent of one gold coin per student so please support students to bring a gold coin this Friday 16 October (non-uniform day.) 

Thank you for your support!
