Take part in building our hall display by sharing a picture.

January 17, 2018 By Tania Savage


 

Each year we place an image on  the hall stage wall that represents the overarching concept our tamariki will explore for the year. In 2018 we are looking at the concept of CHANGE. This year we invite each child and family to take a picture of something that changes, or something that symbolises change for them. Then email the picture as a high resolution jpeg to picture@cardinalmckeefry.school.nz. Please send your child’s picture, including your child’s name and room number, by Thursday the 1st of February. During the first few weeks of school your tamariki will be able to add their printed picture to our hall display wall. We hope to have our completed wall ready for viewing in time for our Pancake Breakfast Celebration.

Garden to Table coming to Cardinal McKeefry

January 12, 2018 By Tania Savage

This year we will launch as the first Garden to Table School in the Western Suburbs. Garden to Table was Established in 2008, and now works with over 6,000 primary-school-aged children all across New Zealand, helping them discover a love for fresh food and skills that will last a lifetime. The Garden to Table programme aims to build skills for life through highly practical hands-on child centric classes – not only teaching growing and cooking skills but also building awareness of individual and collective responsibility for the environment, healthy eating and community connectedness. It is an opportunity to allow children across the country to get their hands dirty and learn how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food. The Wellington City Council has awarded us a grant of $3000 to support the start up costs of this programme. In the new year we will be appointing the Garden and Kitchen Specialists, and developing our new garden behind our staff room. Our Year 5 and 6 students will be our pilot class and in time we hope to give all our students the experience of cooking and growing food.
