Cake baking extravaganza!

We had a fantastic response from the children for our 'Decorate a cup-cake' competition. As you can see from the photographs below there were some amazingly creative designs. All the profits from the sale will be given to the Strength & Kindness teams chosen charity MissioNZ'. By the end of morning tea we had raised $195!

Masterton Schools 7-a-side Sport Tournament

Wow! We couldn't have got a better afternoon for the Masterton Schools 7-a-side sports tournament. Children from the Kildare Syndicate had a great time representing us in football, rugby, hockey and netball.

Great work everyone! 

St. Patrick's Cross Country

The children at St. Pat's had a great time at the school cross country today. I'm not sure who was the loudest house but I know that the loudest cheerleader was Shirley!

Can you can find yourself in the house group photos?

Live on the radio!

At 11.30 this morning we again went live on the radio in conjunction with Arrow FM. Our second radio show of the year was hosted by Jackson and Emily who did a great job as they overcame a few technical hitches. If you missed the show, check out the Arrow FM website and listen to the podcast later in the week. Search under the 'LiveWires' section of the podcast's.

Harriers Cross Country

Today at the Harriers cross-country competition we unveiled our new school banner. It certainly helped us to stand out from everyone else.

All of our athletes also looked really smart in the school tracksuits.

Artists of the future!

Look at some of the fantastic art work that Claudia and Jess created as part of their two day art workshop organised by Wairarapa REAP. Great effort girls.

St. Patrick's School choir in action!

Our amazing school choir are putting in plenty of practice ahead of performing at 'Art Splash' in Wellington later on in the year. Of course, led by the Mr & Mrs Connor double act they are sounding fantastic. Check out the video below:

Congratulations Emily!

Huge congratulations to Emily who is the winner of the recent Mitre 10 Mega competition. Emily won a herself a new bike and for the school she won a $500 Mitre 10 Mega gift card and a minion to bring back to school.

We will have to think about where to put our new minion and I wonder if we could come up with a new name for him/ her? Let me know any ideas that you come up with.

Senior netball trials are underway!

Good luck to everyone who is taking part in the netball trials this afternoon!
