Principal's Message
Dear SJV Families
Welcome to the beginning of Term 2. I am sure that everyone enjoyed a wonderful Easter during the holidays. I have placed a reflection link below that highlights the importance of this amazing time in our church calendar.
Jesus is Risen, Alleluia!

Walkathon/Colour Run 12:10pm and 2:45pm
Tomorrow the children (weather permitting) will participate in the walkathon starting at 12:10pm. The school has sent a note home containing all the relevant information to advertise this event. In the afternoon the children will be able to celebrate their achievement by being splashed by colour and even splashing colour all over me! A lot of fun will be had by everyone.
Open Days – Wed 3rd May 9:30am-5pm and Saturday 6th May 9:20am-12:30pm
Next week the school will be holding two Open Day sessions. Staff and Year 6 students will be conducting tours of the school for interested parents and their families. If you know of anyone who is looking for Kindergarten in 2024, please send them our way.
X-Country Carnival – Friday 5th May 1:50pm-2:45pm
Next Friday the children (weather permitting) will participate in the X-Country Carnival. The K-2 team has sent a note home containing all the relevant information. It would be wonderful to see as many people there as possible to cheer on the children.
Athletics Carnival 12th May
A note has gone out to advertise this event. The ELC will be in attendance and the emphasis will be on fun and participation. It will also give our serious athletes an opportunity to progress to the next level. Helpers are always welcome, so if you can help please volunteer now.
Mother’s Day Morning Breakfast - 12th May 8:00am
This year for Mother’s Day a BBQ breakfast will be held to celebrate all that our mums do. Year 1 parents are coordinating the morning and a note will go out early next week to advertise the event.
As usual ordering will take place on Qkr! and we are hoping to have a dedicated coffee van on-site to help all parents cope with an early morning start.
Enrolment Period - Flyer Drop (Volunteers Needed)
As part of our enrolment push for our wonderful school, we have organised flyers for our local area. Many parents have already done an amazing job dropping flyers through Weston/Molonglo. These will contain our name, the day and time of our Open Day and a QR code for parents to scan which sends people to our website and Facebook page. If you can help we have this weekend left to drop off the last of our flyers. Just contact the Front Office and Jet will be happy to give you a bundle.
Prayer Celebrations - Easter Sunday Celebration 2:10pm
This week we have listened to 3/4P describe the importance of ANZAC Day and tomorrow we will celebrate Jesus rising from the dead, portrayed by Year 2JB. I would like to thank the steady stream of parents and grandparents who have attended our celebrations to support our students.
God Bless
