Welcome to semester two at Carey. For our new students joining us for the first time this semester – nau mai, haere mai: it is so great to have you join our learning community. For returning students, I trust that the break has been refreshing and energising.
Make sure you look out for new faces this semester and ensure that our new whanau know they are welcome and supported. I say this every semester to new students at orientation and want to remind us all again here – the most important thing about your time here at Carey is not your grades, but growing your relationship with Jesus. That is what it is all about, and that is why BEING together as a community, to pray, to share, to disciple, to learn is so important.
If you are a distance student we pray that you too feel connected and part of the Carey whanau. I pray that this semester is a rich time of growth and learning for us all.
