The Pom Pom jar is completely full!  One pom pom goes in when great things happen in our learning. The reward is discussed and voted on and the decision was made last Friday for a day of sporting fun at school.  Miss Passmore is teaching tomorrow and taken up the challenge of supporting the kids with this. Sports uniform is allowed but optional.  We are still having our 20 minute Structured Literacy lesson after break!

Congratulations to Jacob Winstanley who was voted in last week as our Oteake class rep on the Student Council.

Please help your child organise a woollen item for us to write about and to share. Thank you for all the wonderful pieces today. We still have a couple of people who have not managed to bring anything in. There were wonderful stories attached to them all.

I would love them back tomorrow to add to the leftovers, so we can get a class photo. Please and thank you. Rachel Petrie

Rippa Rugby Tournament - Friday 15th May 2026 

(Postponement day Monday 18th May)

If your child is in the attached teams, they will be representing St Gerard’s at the Rippa Rugby Tournament on Friday 15th May. Children are to wear sports uniforms and need to meet at Molyneux Park (by the carpark of TTS & the Dunstan Hostel) between 8.45am - 9am on Friday - Miss Passmore & Mr Dowling will be there to meet you. Please ensure children have warm clothes and plenty of food and water for the day. They will need to be picked up by 3pm. Any updates will be put on Facebook.

The Terrace School PTA will be running a BBQ with sausages in bread, burgers, home baking and some sweets.There will be a coffee van selling cold drinks as well, and Mr Whippy will be in attendance.

Bus children: Can get off the bus at St Gerard’s and we will arrange a ride for them. Alternatively, children may get off the bus at Dunstan High and walk to meet us at Molyneux Park. Please let me know what your child will be doing so we can arrange transport. 

Some of our teams have extra players to allow for sickness and to give everyone the opportunity to attend the Dunstan Zone Competition. If teams progress onto the COs some players in the team may become non-travelling reserves.

Many thanks,
