Vision: At St Paul’s we know, love and serve God.
This Sunday, we will celebrate “The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary”.
This means that Mary was taken to heaven body and soul. As Catholics, we
place special value on Mary as being very holy. Some other religions have
misconceptions about Catholicism and they think that we “idolize” Mary. This
isn’t the case. As Catholics, we hold Mary in high esteem because she was born
sinless. Mary was Jesus’ mother and lived a very holy life. We celebrate her life
and that she was bestowed this special privilege of being taken to
heaven both body and soul. Because this is such an important day in the
church, it was often considered a Holy Day of Obligation, which means that all
Catholics are expected to attend Mass on this feast day.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of
your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God.
Pray for us sinners now, and at
the hour of our death.
Amen.
This week’s focus, Fruit of the Holy Spirit, is
“Faithfulness”.
We are called to be “faithful” to Jesus. This means
living our lives in the name of Jesus Christ. Being
kind and caring to others, giving to the poor and
showing mercy when we can. Faithfulness is praying
my daily prayers to Jesus and going to Mass.
Even in times when I have it hard,
how do I show faithfulness at school?
TEACHER ONLY DAY.
Please be reminded that Monday 20th September is a teacher only day.
School will be closed.

LATENESS IN THE MORNINGS– EARLY PICK-UPS IN AFTERNOONS
It has come to our attention that there are more and more children
arriving at school after the bell has gone in the mornings and being picked up
early afternoon before school finishes at 2.55pm. Some are late every or
almost every day. It is good for your children to learn the habit of being on
time and not always running a little late. As a parent, it is your responsibility
to make sure your child is at school on time. It is disruptive to your child’s
classroom to come in when everyone else is settled and working.
Please make appointments for your children in the school holidays or out of
school hours.
Students that are late or collected early are missing out on learning and can
be a disruption to others. If a student is regularily late or collected early, it
will affect his learning at school.
Arriving on time at 8.40am is a habit for success
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR CHILD IS AT SCHOOL ON TIME AND
READY TO START CLASSES BY 8.55am. THANKYOU.
Please be reminded that the Bell Times for 2021 are:
School commences at 8.55 am and finishes at 2.55 pm daily. Children should arrive
at school in sufficient time to be ready to start at this time.
The School Office hours are 8.30-3-15pm, Monday to Friday.

WINTER ILLNESS
We have quite a lot of illness at school at the moment. We have a few children
with Chicken Pox and, of course, colds and flu are rife. If your child has a sore
throat, they need to be seen by a doctor and excluded from school. Strep Throat
is very contagious and can make your child, and staff, very unwell.
Please ensure you keep your child/ren at home if they are unwell. It has come to our attention that
students are arriving at school unwell. While staff are trained in general first aid, they are not
trained or available to look after your sick child. We would appreciate your support
in this matter.
The best things you can do to stop the spread of illnesses.
• Stay at home and away from others if you are sick.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue. (Tissues are supplied in every class-
room)
• Put used tissues into a rubbish bin.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth - germs spread that way.
UNIFORM - Beanies & Scarves
Don’t forget we have Navy Beanies & Scarves available at the school office. Please note
they are only an option and not a requirement. The prices are: Beanies $6.50 and
Scarves $11 .
Karamu Class has been writing about their
favourite Olympics moment.
Maddison: The Olympic moment that I enjoyed best was when Emma
Twigg was rowing in the final race in the women’s single sculls and won a
gold medal. What she did was try her hardest and never gave up.
I liked this moment because this was the 4th time Emma has competed in
the Olympic Games and she has never won a gold medal before.
This year she has brought back a gold medal from her rowing event.
Thomas: The Olympic moment I enjoyed most was when NZ won against
another Rugby team in Rugby 7s, 50 to 5.
We scored 2 tries then they scored one. We scored one then they got it all the
way down the field but we got the ball and ran it all the way down the field and
scored.
That is why that Rugby game is my favourite Olympic moment.
