SHARING THE LOVE FOR MUSIC
Music month is celebrated throughout New Zealand
during May. This year this was particularly important
as we marked the 30 year anniversary of this
wonderful initiative. Every Friday the sound of music
filled the Atrium with Lunch concerts. We had
performances from all music groups at school – the
Jazz band, the School Orchestra, Marybelles and Marist Stella choirs. Our newly formed
rock group Lights out got great support and probably their own fan club!
The highlight of the music activity was the Orchestra visit to Morningside Kindergaten, where we were met by keen audience. The
little boys and girls learned about different instruments and their sounds – they were especially impressed by the trombone! The
music of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” was captivating and everyone tried to clap and conduct along the rhythm of Tourdion. Who
knows – maybe we have inspired a future Mozart!
PASIFIKA AND MAORI FONO/HUI IS ALIVE AND WELL AT MARIST
It was extremely gratifying to see so many of our parents, students and staff gather at last
Thursday’s fono/hui/meeting based on Years 7 and 8 Junior Mentoring Programme. It was a special time
for our junior students to introduce their ‘big sister’/mentor to their parents and find out first hand of what
mentoring is all about.
It is an integral part of the programme to make this connection between
home and school as together we can achieve so much more. We invite
any of our Year 9 and 10 Pasifika and Maori families to come along to
our fono/hui next month on Tuesday 16th June.
Thank you Parents for your attendance
and support.
