Good Shepherd Parish is setting up a youth group for 10 to 15 year olds – under the Bonus Pastor banner. The first meeting will be Saturday 2 April: 1.00 – 5.00 pm. Meetings will occur twice a month. Good Shepherd Awards This week we congratulate Eva Fala from Room 9 and Sienna McLeod from Room 4 for winning the Good Shepherd Awards. Eva and Sienna are great role models for our values of care, respect and honesty. First Holy Communion and Confirmation Date We have had confirmation from the parish that the date is set for the First Holy Communion and Confirmation this year: Sunday 18 September at 2pm More information will follow. Thank You We are very grateful to the ‘old boys’ and current St Peter’s College students who looked after the children in the grounds while their parents attended the parent information evening last week. Thank you Harrison and Cameron Gregan, and Joaquin and Corum DeLacey! This act of kindness, I am sure you will agree, was helpful to parents attending the meeting. Senior Swimming Carnival Congratulations to all swimmers from the senior school who took part in the Swimming Carnival yesterday. A special congratulation goes to those who were placed in their events. A team has been selected to represent Good Shepherd at the interschool swimming competition next week and we wish them well as they compete at this level. These special events could not take place without the wonderful support we get from parents helping out, or without the extra work put into organizing them by Mrs McLeod and Mr Sharma. Thank you all! Welcome We extend a very warm welcome to the following new students who have started with us recently: Oscar McKelvie Srishika Tarun GSS PTA - Friday Sushi Our suppliers have increased the cost of sushi, so we have had to change the prices. Pricing is now: 4 pieces sushi $5.00 6 pieces sushi $6.00 8 pieces sushi $7.00 Teriyaki Chicken on Rice $6.00 Please refer to the attached flyer with flavour, size options and the updated prices. Thank you for supporting this PTA activity. Netball 2016: Years 1 – 6 Good Shepherd Garden Club The local netball competition is run by Auckland Netball and is held at Windmill Road courts in Mt Eden. The competition is open to both boys and girls, years 1 – 6. A coach and a manager is required for every team. If your child is interested in playing netball please complete the attached registration form and return it to the school office by Friday 4th March 2016. Joan Oxspring Mobile: 021 626 277 The kids and parent helpers of the Garden Club have been meeting once a week for the past 5 - 6 years to care for the school gardens, orchard, undertake garden projects and to grow their own produce in the vege beds. Remembering Lent Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of the Season of Lent. It is a season of penance, reflection, and fasting which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Lent is a special time when you can share the concepts of prayer and giving with your children. Take family time each day to offer devotional prayers. Consider as a family how you might help others in need by giving of your time or resources. Even very young children can understand and will enjoy participating in the process. For this to continue we need some new parent helpers to keep the Garden Club running for this year. If you are a keen gardener or even new to gardening and can help on a few lunchtimes during each term this is a great opportunity to be involved with your children’s learning. We are looking at the possibility of Tuesday lunchtime. This may also suit some grandparents or parents with older pre schoolers. Please contact Lisa Paniora on 021 274 4644, Kate Saunders - 021 815 959 or Emma Smoldon - 0274 1550206 Chess in the Library-Monday Lunchtime If you are interested in playing chess come along and challenge someone to a game. All ability levels welcome. Staffing Update Fran Taylor will be on leave for the rest of this term.
