In Tamariki Teina we are learning to participate and contribute, show compassion, and connect with our peers. We looked at the good things that came from lockdown like spending time with our families and bike rides. We put our ideas together and created murals on the court.

We also worked in groups to create a protection mechanism for an egg. We had to listen and respect others’ ideas during this time. We took our creations outside and dropped them from a height. It was one of my favourite parts of the week!

One of last year’s Year 8 students created these wonderful illustrations below – that were used in the latest issue of Toitoi: A Journal for Young Writers and Artists

Well done, Emma!

The fabulous piece below, written by one of our Year 8 students last year, was recently published in Toitoi: A Journal for Young Writers and Artists

Well done, Eva!

From Monday 25 May, we held our first Zoom Assembly, from Ruma Rimu. Our Tamariki Potiki di a wonderful job in leading our assembly, with beautiful singing and clear speaking. Parents /caregivers were emailed with a link on the morning of the assembly.

We had a few “technical issues” with this first attempt, which we can now work on for the next Assembly – to make sure everyone can enjoy the experience – from school, from home and from work!

While we don’t have a good recording to share with you – here are a few screenshot images. 

St Teresa’s School Karori is a Catholic full primary school located in the family-friendly suburb of Karori in Wellington. We are a multicultural school community that supports learners from Year 1-8.  We are also part of Wellington Catholic Schools Kāhui Ako. At St Teresa’s, each child is nurtured to grow as a happy, faith-filled learner who is inspired to achieve excellence.

Ko Makara te maunga

Ko Te Whanganui-a-Tara te moana

Ko Pipitea te Marae

Ko St Therese of Lisieux te Tūpuna 

Ko Hato a Terehia te kura

Ko te mea nui, ko ēnei tikanga – aroha, manaakitanga, tapu tangata, awhina, panekiritanga me te tika.
