We hope you enjoy your first day in Room 2. Parent Interviews will take place on Wednesday April 5 and Thursday April 6. If your child is in Year 1-3 and is due for an interview you will be contacted by email about this. All children in Years 4-8 will have an interview. Please go to www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and enter the event code bnafc to book your interview with your child’s / children’s teacher. The booking site will be closed off on Monday April 3 at noon. Prayer for Lent Dear Lord, please help us to bear hardships and difficulties in life with grace, and a joyful attitude. Help us to trust that you will not force too heavy of a load on us. Increase our faith. Please have mercy on us when we are weak and weary. Sustain us with your grace. Stations of the Cross will be held every Wednesday of Lent from 8 March at Johnsonville and Khandallah. At Newlands there will be Stations of the Cross during Lent every Saturday after the 5pm Mass and every Sunday after the 10am Mass. All 3 Churches will have individual confession available on the Wednesdays of Lent from 7.30 to 8.30pm. Today we will be celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation with Father Doug in the school library at 11.00am. This week our EPIC Award “EPIC Eddie” went to Room 2. The class are looking after each other. They play and work happily and peacefully together and say thank you when someone helps them. Recently Room 2 had a visitor in their room and they went out of their way to make her feel welcome. Everyone wants to help when someone gets hurt! They have been learning how to be a good friend, and part of this is knowing what to do when someone treats you in a way you don’t like. Everyone is practising positive, clever ways to deal with this, rather than telling the teacher straight away. It is challenging to be five and starting school, however Mrs Minto can see that the class is working hard to improve in their learning. They are working on holding pencils and scissors correctly, forming letters and numbers correctly, in addition to learning to read, write and do maths. Some children are getting a bit tired with all this effort, but no one is giving up. The children in Room 2 are EPIC. With winter sports getting under way again and our school basketball, miniball and netball teams representing our school each week it is timely to think about how we can all demonstrate and model our EPIC Gospel Values for our students while they are representing our school. As parents, coaches and supporters the impact of our actions cannot be understated. If we are modelling the values we promote the children will do the same. For our St Benedict’s School teams we encourage participation, fairness and fun. Winning is always a nice bonus. How the students compete and win or lose is more important to us than whether they win or lose. The skills and attitudes in sports they develop at a young age will go with them through the years. We look forward to a great season of winter sports ahead. We wish our Year 6 students all the best for their camp this week as they head off to Palm Grove tomorrow. This camp provides them with opportunities to build and develop their confidence, teamwork and collaborative skills and will help set them up for the challenges that lay ahead in the coming year. Last week (Monday-Sunday) our solar panels generated 87 kWh of solar energy.

RECONCILIATION The First Reconciliation ceremony for children who are registered for this year's Sacramental Programme will be at 6.30pm on Wednesday, 29 March 2017 at St Benedict's church.

  • Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara
    3 Management sector plans 3.1 Sector 1 Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara A unique feature of this sector is the harbour escarpment and the steep gullies off Onslow Road and Homebush Road. Where topography permits, the bush reserves have been developed to include tracks, with play areas, kick-about space or informal recreation space sometimes also provided. The Outer Green Belt (OGB) extends right down into Broadmeadows, Crofton Downs, Ngaio and Khandallah and provides a prominent natural setting for residential housing in this area and access to the extensive track system. The suburban reserves enhance ecological connectivity between the OGB and the harbour via the large natural gully reserves and smaller pockets of open space. This sector is adjacent to but does not include Trelissick Park or reserves in the Outer Green Belt. The open space network comprises: • One sport and recreation (community) park – Nairnville Park, which has a 3/4 size artificial field, three winter fields, two summer cricket blocks, a skateboard ramp and a community playground. Nairnville Recreation Centre is located on the park and provides a range of indoor recreation activities and programmes, changing rooms and public toilets during its hours of operation. • Kaiwharawhara Park on Hutt Road has one winter field and changing rooms. • Ngaio Tennis Club leases a recreation reserve on the corner of Crofton Road and Waikowhai Street. • 10 neighbourhood parks with a further two, Khandallah Park and play area and Silverstream Road play area, on the edge of this sector managed under the Outer Green Belt Management Plan. • Several large bush reserves.

  • Stage 1 – Issues and Needs Analysis Summary of Submissions
    Stage 1 – Issues and Needs Analysis Summary of Submissions Summary of Submissions 1 Executive summary This report summarises the submissions received as part of the first stage of consultation on the North Wellington Public Transport Study. The first stage of the study seeks to identify the public transport issues of the community and key stakeholders, particularly the passenger transport needs of the area. Key stakeholders including land transport providers, community groups, schools, affected residents and the general public were invited to participate in the consultation process. Notification of the process was undertaken in November 2005 through public notices in local papers, public displays at the Johnsonville Mall, Johnsonville, Khandallah and Ngaio Libraries, and a maildrop to over 15,000 households throughout the study area. In addition a webpage was set up to increase awareness and provide an ongoing reference point for interested parties. In total, just over 500 submissions were received from individuals, 5 from community groups and 4 from other organisations. Geographically, submissions were received from the suburbs within the study area. Khandallah, Ngaio, and Johnsonville (in order) were the largest submitter groups. 42 submitters did not specify a suburban address, 8 were from the wider Wellington Region and 1 was from a national organisation. Over half of submitters wished to be contacted further regarding the study. Key findings • Slightly over 50% of submitters use bus services while slightly under 50% use train services. • Approximately 85% walk to their public transport, 15% drive. • The top six issues raised by submitters were frequency of buses (18%), reliability (17%), route (17%), new trains (12%), and the rundown state of trains (10%).

  • SUBMISSION Khandallah Medium Density Housing and Town Centre Plans
    SUBMISSION Khandallah Medium Density Housing and Town Centre Plans From: Khandallah Residents Group c/o 53 Cashmere Avenue Khandallah Wellington 6035 [email protected] Contacts: Diane Calvert Ph 029 971 8994 Christine McKenna Ph 021 107 1675 This submission is made on behalf of the above working group. There are 11 members on the working group, and 305 people who have chosen to be on our database. Summary 1. To be clear, the Khandallah Residents group supports housing choice and supply solutions that best meet the current and future needs of our community. 2. Khandallah Residents Group is opposed to Council’s plan for medium-density housing in Khandallah as an appropriate solution to meeting housing choice and supply needs. 3. The need for additional housing in Khandallah is modest and does not justify the introduction of medium-density housing of the type and scale proposed. Rather than copying housing solutions from larger and different types of cities, we should be more innovative and devise answers appropriate to the scale of the future need and that fit with our community. 4. We have significant concerns about the quality of the consultation process and the flawed and leading submission form. 5. The town planning process needs to take into account the whole suburb and its infrastructure needs and be undertaken in collaboration with the community. This should culminate in a holistic plan for the future of Khandallah. Only then should a Khandallah Design Guide should be developed (not the other way around as has already occurred). 6. Local residents highly value Khandallah’s character (e.g.
