The Christmas festivities have continued with the Year 2 and 3’s putting on a special performance of the Christmas story, recounting the Birth of Jesus. The children joyfully sung Christmas Carols and and even had a visit from Santa Claus and Rudolph! Well done Yr 2 & 3!
Our Year 0 & 1 students put on a fabulous show telling the story of the Nativity and singing some festive songs to get us all in the Christmas spirit. Well done to our littlest students and their teachers for putting on such a heartwarming performance!
Taking advantage of the latest Mt Carmel RUBIK Cube craze, the senior school decided to hold a Rubik cube speed challenge.
The winner who solved the puzzle in an incredibly fast 14 seconds was Jackson Priscott.
On Tuesday 24th of September and Wednesday 25th of September our Year 5 and 6 students participated in a Bike Safety school programme. This programme is run in conjunction with NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) Cyclist Skills Training. The children learnt about cycle control skills within the school playground and car park with a focus on bike handling, confidence and safety. They practiced steering and maneuvering safely to avoid objects, to look behind, and the hand signals for stopping and turning.

Last term our senior students took part in EPro8 - a problem solving challenge promoting science, engineering and teamwork skills. The students had a great time working together on an activity to build a structure using the materials provided.
We had a fantastic turn out this week at a Special Mass celebrating Grandparents and important older family members/friends. After mass, the children invited their Grandparents/family to look around their classes, and have a cup of tea in the hall. It was wonderful seeing the interaction between the children and the special people in your lives.
Over the past couple of weeks selected students from Yr 3-6 competed in the Catholic Schools Cross Country and the Remuera Zone Cross Country. Well done to all our runners.
