James Sandilands, Jacob Matson and Laura Dorgan. Please refer to the sports section of this

soon warmed up to provide ideal swimming conditions. There were seven school records broken on
the day, six by Korlina Volkov. If you would like to see a clip of Korlina in action go to
www.r2.co.nz/20130226. For further details on the swimming sports, please see the sports section

won 12 medals. We wish them all the best for the upcoming South Island Championships this
coming weekend.

James Faulkner, a year 12 student, competed in this year’s
Speight’s Coast to Coast as the youngest competitor. James
finished the race in just under 15 hours. We are extremely
proud of James for his amazing achievement and look forward
to his upcoming presentation at assembly.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge and thank all the parents and friends of the college who give so
generously of their time to enable us to provide so many opportunities to our students – coaching,
managing, transporting, supporting, feeding, etc. We couldn’t do it without you.
Until next time,

Caritas Lenten Appeal
This week 10 year 12 students took part in a Caritas Social Justice day in Christchurch. They met with
Christchurch Catholic secondary schools to look at the work of Caritas especially in this time of Lent.
Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand is the Catholic Agency for Justice, Peace and Development. Only with our
help can they support development and relief for poor communities around the world, and work for justice
at home. Their programmes address the causes of poverty and injustice, wherever they exist.
Please remember that Lent is a time of Almsgiving and if you would like to contribute to the Lenten appeal
there is a Koha box in the school office.

Keyboards wanted
A staff member, Anthony Whelan, has a request to purchase a second hand digital keyboard or an older
free-standing unit with weighted keys.
He would be interested if it provided a reasonable piano sound as he plays at St Thomas’s Church on
Saturday evenings.
The keyboard would be used in a studio situation as Anthony uses it for piano-files and with sequences as
well. Anthony’s intention is to extend the effects to provide a more Classical programme including Mozart,
Haydn and Bach over time. Thank you.
