I warmly welcome you to St Gerard's school in Alexandra, Central Otago.
St Gerard's is a state integrated school for girls and boys up to Year 8 offering an education with special Catholic Character. The special Catholic Character of our school follows the education philosophy of Catherine McAuley as gifted to us by the Sisters of Mercy.
As a school community we are committed to educating our students through our vision of Love (aroha ai), Learn (ako ai) and Grow (tipu ai).
Our greatest asset is our people - He waka eke noa - a canoe which we are all in together - no exception.
Julie Flannery
Principal
Kia ora Oteake families,
Spelling and sentence reading H/W is being done well by our learners. Thanks for your support at home. We would like to add in some Basic Facts so you can see where your child is at. Find a way that works for your child to learn these-rote learn, sing them, chant them, write them in a notebook. There is only so much time in our school day for your child to learn these (and we are using it), but they all need the extra practice at home until they have them secure in their Maths toolbelt.
We are visiting the Science Road show held at the Terrace school on Friday. We will be away from school between 12-2pm.
If you have any small boxes, shoe boxes, toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, tissue boxes etc can these please be brought into school before Friday.
Keep an eye on Skool Loop for a timetable which will outline rehearsals at the theatre in Skird St for next week (Wk 4).
Anne’s knee surgery was cancelled last week and is now on 13th November.
Kind regards, Anne, Jo and Camryn

Kia ora koutou. I hope everyone has enjoyed the long weekend and had some nice family time together. Last week we were very fortunate to enjoy the workshop from the NZ Symphony Orchestra, as well as a big day of sports at the Fern Fever event on Friday. This week we continue to work hard towards our production, and on Friday we'll enjoy the Science Roadshow. Please could everyone bring their musical production costume to school on Tuesday, in a clearly named bag. We will collect these and keep them at school until after the show.
