Week 9 Learning
It's been a busy week of last-minute practices for our school production. Our dance looks fabulous so I hope you all got tickets to see us next week.
We are still managing to do learning in between finishing off tasks and even some assessments have been done between production practice. Our focus for maths is probability. You'll see some photos of our dice investigation.
We spent some time in church on Tuesday, learning about the different parts of the church. Congratulations to Skyrah, Freyja, and Rushil who had lunch with the Principal on Wednesday. And all the best to Marlo, Ryan, and Andrew who will participate in the Aquabot challenge on Saturday.
JPC Band Performance
It was great seeing so many of the John Paul College students playing in the school band today. Our students are inspired to learn an instrument now!
A huge thank you to Andrew and Ryan who thanked them on our behalf.

School COLOUR Fun Run!
Fantastic Fundraising
The effort and enthusiasm from students has been fantastic and we’ve had a great start to our big fundraiser for the year, as we were unable to hold a Gala Day.
Can your child come up with ideas to help them fundraise - chores, helping a neighbour in the garden, and I am sure there are many more ideas they can think of.
Please keep sharing your child's link
Go to schoolfunrun.co.nz, share your online fundraising link via SMS, Email and Social Media. If someone would like to sponsor your child and give them cash, they can do this. Please take the money to the office, with your child's name and room number and we will be able to add the amount to their profile.
THANK YOU! For the support we have received from everyone. It isn’t too late to make a profile for your child if you haven’t done one yet.
Top Class for Week 2 of the Promotion
Be the class that raises the most for the week
and win ice cream sundaes for your class Golden Time
Week 1 classes who will receive juicies.
