Carmel Day
What is Carmel Day?
Carmel Day is the best event of the school year!! In the morning we begin with the mass for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in the morning (wearing formal school uniform) before running off to begin the annual Carmel Day concert in the afternoon.
The Carmel Day concert includes the talent show between each house performance. Carmel Day is all about building our school spirit and the sisterhood at our school, so seeing all the smiles and cheers after weeks of work on each dance is always so worth it!

Coin Trail is the amazing event where we raise money for Caritas' chosen place for the year. Enthusiasm is expressed through each Atawhai contributing their money totals towards the final sum donated to Caritas.

Each Atawhai group had to participate in competitions of creating a chalk design, plus a poem, that connects to the main core mercy value.
