Dear Parents

A happy Mother’s Day for Sunday. I am sure all the children will be busy this weekend preparing Sunday breakfast!!
I saw the Verdon production ‘Seussical’ last night and was pleased to see a number of ex-Sacred Heart pupils involved. Well done to all involved.

The children in the senior classes are training at school for the School Zone Cross Country on May 20th.

Welcome to Corey Linton who joined the children in Room 6 this week.
We hope he enjoys his time with us at Sacred Heart.
We also welcome three students from the college who are in Rooms 2 & 8 for two weeks.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Helen Campbell and her family this week, and also Hayden Ganders family (Timaru).
We also pray for the family of Fr. Ives who passed away this week.
2010 School Fair ~ I am asking for parents from each classroom to volunteer to be on a ‘Fair Committee” to help organise and run the fair in November.
Every 2nd year the PTA/School hold a school fair to raise funds for equipment/resources for your children. The last school fair raised over $10,000, the majority of which was spent on the sports equipment trolleys and the resource cupboards in the corridors.
To help with the organisation, we plan to have different classrooms responsible for different areas of the fair.
Many hands make light work of the task, so please consider this. If unsure, volunteer yourself and a friend. Unfortunately if we do not get a committee together, the fair will not go ahead as planned, and parents will be asked for increased donations.
If you are interested, please contact me on 215-7317 or principal@shsinv.school.nz
Helen Campbell’s Reading Group
Due to family circumstances Helen Campbell will be absent indefinitely. In the interim Mrs Ingham and Miss Gaines will continue the programme until further notice. Any queries please contact me.

Room 3 Class Happenings



Today was our first day at the Stadium. We had lots of fun learning how to throw a ball underarm. We also got to practise jumping over small hurdles and climbing through a plastic tunnel. Even Miss Swney had a go and she nearly got stuck in the tunnel. We can’t wait until next Friday to see what new things we can learn.
