Term 3 Virtues and Magis Awards

Term 3 Virtues and Magis Awards

E te Matua. Ka whakawhetai Mo ngā mea ora. Mo ngā mea pai. Ngā hua rākau. Ngā hua katoa I ruia mai nei kia puawai. Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki.  

Our end of term celebration reaps the harvest of the great work of akonga sown at the beginning of this term. As Matariki rises in the night sky, we acknowledge all that was and the work to a new start for the new term. Congratulations to the recipients of our Term 2 awards.

The Subject Magis award is for students who have been working towards their own personal excellence during the term in a particular subject.   

At the end of each term all our staff have the opportunity to nominate ākonga who have displayed one of the 7 virtues.  These are the 3 theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Love and the 4 Cardinal Virtues of prudence, fortitude, temperance and justice.  When we display these virtues it is an indication that a person is directing their lives towards God.   There is a special award given to ākonga who receive all 7 of the virtue awards during their time at St Ignatius.
