In week one we visited BJ Bear and Mr Kennedy the Magician at Featherston School, who were promoting the A & P Show; we had a Powhiri to welcome all of our new students and their Whanau to our lovely school; and Room 5 returned to Technology on Wednesday at the new time slot of 9-11am.
On Thursday the 15th October, we celebrated the Feast Day of our patron Saint, St Teresa of Avila. She was born on the 28th March, 1515, so this year marked her 500th birthday.
To celebrate, we started the day with Mass in the quad, led by Father Bruce England and Father Stefano Lee.
Our celebrations continued after morning tea with tabloid sports, organised and run by our house leaders, followed by a barbecued sausage feast cooked by the Student Councilors, and ice creams donated by the Featherston Library for the student's participation in the Winter Warmers Programme.All of the students in Room 5 had an important part to play in the effort to make this important day a success. They all stepped up and showed the kind of leaders they can be, from the cooking of the sausages, to the leading and managing of their houses.
Well done everyone!
