Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

Although it has been a very short week, a lot has happened since Wednesday. We began the week by welcoming all our new students into the College, both new year 9's and students who have joined us from other secondary schools. Our day began with a mihi whakatau in our school auditorium, which was well attended by families. I want to thank those of you who were able to make it to this event. It is always great to see parents and caregivers at our College celebrations. Pictured on the school steps below are our year 9 cohort for 2024 and Mr James Devereaux, their Dean.

After the day spent in administrative matters on Wednesday, it was straight into classes on Thursday and aside from a few computer glitches, it was a good start. Cue today, and we finished our week with the investiture liturgy for our prefect school leaders. Our focus for the liturgy was the idea of leadership as working for the common good.

Next week, we have our Dominican Excellence awards on Tuesday the 13th, and that night, we will have our 'Meet the Teacher' event for year 9 parents. This year, we will use this opportunity to gather family input on our strategic direction and provide the opportunity for families to let us know what is important for you as you begin your journey with us. We look forward to seeing you there.

Have a great weekend.

God Bless
Jo
