Building Friendships Across the School

It's important to get to know the rest of the people here at Sacred Heart Petone. In the Junior Team we mix up groups across the 4 classes on a Monday afternoon for PE. WE also have fortnightly Art sessions on a Friday afternoon. Sometimes our big Pukeko buddies like Joseph drop in to lend a hand.

World Day of Prayer

To be part of The World Day of Prayer we joined our School Community in a reflective walk past the Remembrance Garden and the Values Walk. We then had a lovely prayer lead by Miss Heatley. We were so very quiet and respectful and admired our new Year of Mercy Banner.

Tui Class lead School Prayer

Each Monday a different class leads the School Prayer. Tui class stood proudly at the front and with the help of a couple of our Pukeko buddies took School Prayer. Our focus was Being Merciful.

Welcome Polito-Siaki and Avah

This morning we welcomed the 2 newest Tuis to Sacred Heart Petone at School Prayer time.

Polito-Siaki was welcomed first.

It was so lovely to have 3 generations of his whanau here. His Nanny shared Polito's links with the Petone area that went back 8 generations. His big sister Te Raukura and his many cousins stood up to awhi him as well. His previous teacher Maria told us a bit about him and how lucky we were to have him.

Next up was Avah. Although she doesn't have as many whanau here at school her Mum Lillian and Godmother Levinia were both taught by Mrs Pennington at another school. Dad Sebastian told us how excited Avah was to be here at Sacred Heart.

Meet our Terrific Pukeko Buddies

At Sacred Heart Petone we have a wonderful buddy system. our big buddies look after us in the playground, at church and any whole school event. We've started getting together every Wednesday afternoon for 30 mins for a variety of activities.
