Striving for Excellence in the Marist Tradition

Saint Mary's Catholic School History

Our Catholic School was formed by the Marist Sisters and was opened on the 2nd of February 1944. The school was built by a local farmer and the parish men. Most of the materials for the school were donated by local farmers. There were only 3 teachers, 3 classrooms and only 38 students. Up until 1959 all the teachers were nuns. The teachers that joined after that were lay teachers. Our principal became a lay teacher in 1991. The school pool first opened in 1974 at the annual school gala day. All the money was fund raised for and the pool took ten weeks to build.
Our Beliefs:
Our school believes in the Marist tradition as we strive for excellence. As a Catholic School we believe in the Holy Bible and follow the Ten Commandments. We believe in the one and only God, the creator of all things big and small. As St. Mary's Catholic School, we follow in the footsteps of Mary.

Rippa Rugby
18 Mar 2024

Kia ora Schools and Whanau

Fingers crossed the weather plays ball this week and we are able to get the kids out on the field to have some fun and play some games of ripper.  Draw is the same as last week.(see attached)

Things to remind our parents about:

·   Gear needs to remain at the fields where they belong for the next team to use.

·  Coaches/managers to please ref your games please.

·  Its all about having fun and giving it ago no score is being taken.

·  If you are on the first round please come and get your gear container from the clubrooms before your game.  Best to arrive at least 10-15 minutes earlier to give yourselves time to get ready.

·  Please be aware that there will be limited belts in each container due to numbers needed to run this comp.  Please rotate during your game within your team but ensure they remain at the field they belong.

If the weather is looking to be a pain again we will make the call at 2pm to the schools if it is on or called off. But its not going to as we are all hoping for fine weather :)

 

Please no SPRIGS to be worn and stay of field one.

 

Any questions please fire them through to my cellphone 0223419096 or ill try and jump back onto this email throughout the week.

 

PS - Please let me know if you have a green square on your draw - its one of the fields from the layout that has moved around lol....
