As we are nearing the end of the term it has been timely to reflect on how we are going at Pompallier Catholic School. Term one has been full of challenges as we navigate through health and safety requirements of covid. Constant changes to formalities and limiting adult interaction with our students. To say it has been challenging is an understatement!
We have worn masks in our senior school the entire 11 weeks which has seen relatively low illness rates transfering between our students, which was our goal. The last six weeks has seen us juggling staff isolation requirements, trying to keep everything ticking along for our learners!
I am so proud of our team. We have had our Catholic Schools Office Review that was done remotely. Check out our video to show the whanaungatanga at PCS.
This review consisted of sharing our planning, learning and documentation remotely. Interviews were undertaken with staff, board, students, whanau and parish. The passion from our community, awhi, aroha and whanaungatanga seeped from every area.
We have worked hard to promote the local curriculum learning so that our tamariki are able to recognise who we are, we we came from and be proud to be Catholic.
Since the review, as a school team we have worked together to support our tamariki and each other. That is really what being Catholic is all about.
We soon head to the term break. As a Principal, I cannot wait. I am exhausted! My team are exhausted. However, we are looking forward to moving ahead to get into the deep learning that our tamariki thrive on at PCS.
God bless
Kathryn
