We are excited to share these professional photos of our talented ShowQuest students!

We are incredibly proud of our ShowQuest students and the way they represented our school yesterday.

Not only did they shine on stage with an outstanding performance, but they also demonstrated our school values off stage through their aroha, kindness, teamwork, and support of one another throughout the day. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment over the term were evident for all to see.

A huge thank you to our wonderful parent helpers who generously gave their time and energy to support our students. From costumes and make-up to supervision and encouragement, we simply couldn’t have done it without you. Your support played a vital role in making this experience such a success for our tamariki.

Today we celebrated our Aroha (Kindness) Day, with our tamariki exploring and celebrating the many ways we can show kindness and care to one another.

We also held our beautiful Garden to Table Bake Sale, with delicious homemade treats lovingly prepared to help raise funds for our Garden to Table projects. Thank you to everyone who baked, donated, supported, and purchased the home baking. Your generosity helps our students to continue to learn valuable skills in growing, preparing, and sharing food together.

Rain ​didn't stop the wonderful Fuse performance​ or the ​crowds from attending during morning tea on Friday last week! ​ We ​were all amazed at how far our drummers have come​ after only 7 lessons!

FUSE Drumming is a unique, proven drumming programme that uses coloured notation to easily teach students how to play cool beats to music. There’s no need for a large drum kit at home or the risk of annoying the neighbours with lots of noise — all you need is a bucket and some drum sticks. Simple!

If you would like your child to join Fuse Drumming at St Mary's School. Enrol here.... https://fusedrumming.co.nz/nz-school-groups/enrol/

Wonderful to see so many of our parents at today’s Coffee & Connect morning. It was lovely to welcome you into our school as we celebrated Mother’s Day and enjoyed connecting with one another over coffee. Thank you to everyone who joined us and the lovely home baking from Aga and her PTA team.
