Kia Ora, Talofa Lava, Malo E Lelei, Pagbati, Sata sri akala, Vanakkam, Namaste, Ni Hao, Greetings

Term 4 has started very positively, students have returned to school bright and focused. Next week is a busy

week of celebration and farewells for Year 13 students. They have been a year group with lots of personality and

we will miss them, so planning to send them off on exam leave with much joy and thankfulness. They are taonga

and will always be part of the Marcellin whānau.

Thanksgiving Mass is on Tuesday (29 October) at 11.15am where we celebrate 2019 and the 5-7 year journey our

Year 13 students have had at Marcellin. We would love whānau to join us for this celebration. Our year 13 have

their leavers assembly the following day where they have a final chance to address and entertain the school, and

then it is year level liturgies on the Thursday morning.

Thursday evening (31 October) at 7pm is our Senior Prizegiving and whānau are encouraged to attend and

support students as we celebrate academic success. Prefects for 2020 will also be announced this evening, and

after prizegiving senior students are officially on study leave.

Our Prefect team this year have really shaped and enhanced our family spirit, students refer to this as ‘the bond’.

We are truly blessed to have such wonderful and caring students who go out of their way to serve others and this

has been exemplified by the prefects in 2019. The school environment is richer as a result of their hard work.

We have a very busy term ahead for Middle school students with camps, trips and in school activities. It is a time

in school where we have space to provide more whanaungatanga opportunities. May the children grow closer to

each other and our Lord through these experiences and the time spent together.

Next week also marks the start of November and with it comes the feast of All Saints Day followed by All Souls

day. November in the Catholic church is dedicated to remembering our whānau members who have gone before

us. All Saints Day, on November 1 is a day set aside to honour church members believed to have gone to heaven.

Please also keep all our students in your prayers during November: those preparing for examinations, those

starting the next chapter of their lives post school and especially those who are finding life stressful and

challenging at present.
