Kitchen Madnes...

 

Making cooking time fun in the kitchen is always rewarding.

Champagnat lives in us....

 

In the words of our school song, Marcellin Champagnat truly was a gift to the world and certainly to us as we try to follow his way and our Marist Values. The learners enjoyed their Champagnat day treats and the fun and games that came with it... Happy Champagnat Day!

Trivia genius? Or just really good at guessing? 🤔

Come one, come all to SJMC's Quiz Night on the 19th! Everyone is welcome to join us for an evening of brain-teasing questions, random facts you'll never need again and plenty of laughs along the way. With a variety of categories on offer, there's something for everyone - whether you're a walking encyclopedia or simply there for moral support.

And because thinking is hungry work, 🍕 pizza will be available to order via the Kari App for any hungry hippos or simply just to avoid a night of having to cook.

Round up your friends, sharpen those thinking caps and prepare to test the limits of your knowledge. Bragging rights are up for grabs! 

Operation Church Mouse

 

"Ever tried to keep a pack of happy Golden Retrievers quiet?" 😆 Well.. the struggle is real during the high school exam period. It's not easy containing our joy but we do make a valiant effort to keep our space quiet so the high school learners can concentrate. 

"Let them eat 'cup' Cake...."

 

From Marie Antoinette's lips to our ears... The Junior Class got a rare treat in art yesterday. They got to decorate their own cupcakes and who said we can't have our cake and eat it too? 

P.S. It was so good one of our learners just had to phone a friend to tell them :)

Eid Celebrations

 

Interact Club Winter Initiative

As the colder months approach, the Interact Club is organizing an initiative to support young athletes from underprivileged communities so that they can participate more confidently in sporting matches.

They will be collecting gently used sneakers that are still in good, wearable condition. All sizes are welcome, and each contribution will go directly to individuals in need within our community.

Thank you to all who brought in shoes already.

Friendly Hug

 We love when the high school teachers pop in to visit us.

Back in action!

We are so happy to have Mila back at school. Her warm smile has been missed by everyone in the unit. 

In the busy corner

After creating our master pieces with Teacher's Jacqui and Joy, she lets us loose in her fantastic busy corner. All that imaginative play helps our creativity and develops our social skills.

 

Wrapped in Marist Love

 Winter warmers are in! Our branded Marist blankets are back in stock and just in time for the change in weather.

Oh so cozy!

🎵 Cause We Never Go Out of Style...🎵

 

Welcome to The SNU Hair Salon - we are now taking bookings for break times; with our senior stylist. Call 0800 SNU RAINY DAYS to complete your booking. 😃.. Anyone else love that feeling of your hair being played with? As you can see, one of our learners was almost asleep while his hair was being combed. So fascinating all the creative ideas our learners come up with to keep themselves busy when the weather keeps us inside.

Food skills are skilling....

 

Something smells good.. Take a look at us cooking over the past few weeks of food skills.

Small break time

 

Through the Eye of the Beholder

 

Photography is not just a skill... it's a passion too and we love to see the enthusiasm and joy that taking a simple photo brings to our learners so we set a few of them a task: find something spectacular around our beautiful school grounds… and boy did they deliver. National Geographic couldn't have done it better as far as we're concerned. Such incredible talent! 

First Horse ride

 

We warmly welcome one of our new learners on her first horseback ride. Her excitement and thrill are truly contagious as she experiences the joy of riding for the very first time!

cooking seasion taking place

The learners rolled up their sleeves, ready to unleash their inner chefs and hopefully avoid setting off the fire alarm, while having a blast in the kitchen!

 

Picture day !!

 

What a fantastic day for a photo session! The learners were genuinely excited to capture their individual pictures.

Celebrating World Book Day 🤟🤓 📚

"The more that you read, the more things you'll know. The more that you learn , the more places you'll go." - Dr. Suess

This famous quote rings eternal especially on a day like today. We all took the time to appreciated books and book characters today. Did you?

Parent Connect Initiative

The transition to post-school life is a big step in the lives of our children. Parents often have many questions about what this pathway could look like. Every child is unique, and so is their journey. We know there is no one-size-fits-all solution but perhaps there are helpful pointers and tips that can be gleaned from the parents who are further down the road.

This week, we hosted a couple of parents whose children are now out of school and finding their way in the world. We heard their stories and got boat loads of inspiration and hope.

We would like to thank our parent body for the wonderful turnout last night. It was truly heartwarming to hear the stories and journeys shared by our past parents. Our moms spoke honestly and authentically about the obstacles they've faced and their ongoing efforts to find solutions that suit their children. Ali, our former student, was confident and proud as he shared about his first job, marriage and independence. Each speaker added great value to the evening.
