On Friday we had a visit from Parvyn Singh & Josh Bennet who along with their son make up BlueGuru. They shared with us a colourful blend of Indian music and dance featuring .
Parvyn performed traditional Indian song and dance accompanied by master musician Josh Bennett on various Southern Asian instruments. Josh & Parvyn’s performance gave our tamariki a fascinating insight into Indian music, dance and culture.
Parvyn even taught our tamariki some popular Bollywood moves!

Josh shared with us his mastery of instruments of the sitar and tabla.

To thank our wonderful guests Sudhiksha and Ananyaa shared a lovely song in Tamil.

Some links to information to support your children through this time of grief.

Our thoughts are with Christchurch and those affected. It can be hard to know how to talk to children about terrorism…

I love the new playground and it is complete, the flying fox is far more smoother and not rusty. I love the colour blue of the new ropes. Poppy

I think it is really good it looks is much better and new and it is much safer. The ropes are better because they are not frayed. Nell

I like the new playground because when we were on the bridge the old rope was rough and it gave me a scratch. The new rope is so much softer and better and there is loads more equipment to play on so it feels like there is more space.

I think the new playground is really good because there is new equipment and the way it is designed for use is really smart and fun to play. Ava.

It is so much better because there are not wires sticking out and they used to hurt your hands, no one used to go on it. The ropes are so much stronger and heaps of people play on it. Eva.

Pink Shirt Day

May 18, 2018 By Tania Savage

Cardinal McKeefry School joined in with many other schools and organisations across New Zealand in celebrating Bully Free Week NZ through Pink Shirt Day.

 

The origin of Pink Shirt Day is explained here: https://www.pinkshirtday.org.nz/about/

On Pink Shirt Day we ask New Zealanders to Speak up and Stand together to Stop bullying.

Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new year 10 student was harassed and threatened for wearing pink. David and Travis bought dozens of pink shirts and distributed them to their male classmates to wear the next day. The word got out online and hundreds of students showed up in pink, some from head-to-toe, to stand together against bullying.

We’ve been celebrating Pink Shirt Day in New Zealand since 2009 and the campaign grows stronger and larger every year.

Pink Shirt Day is led by the Mental Health Foundation, with support from: The Peace Foundation, RainbowYOUTH, InsideOUT, New Zealand Post Primary Teachers’ Association, Youthline and Family Works.
