This week our St John Vianney’s Year 5 buddies had their first visit to the ELC. This is the first year we have had previous ELC students return as the peer buddy. It is wonderful to see the leadership skills and confidence grow in the Year 5 students and the relationships they form with the ELC students over the year. We look forward to more visits over the term.

SJV Athletics Carnival

The ELC will be participating in the St John Vianney’s Athletics Carnival at Chapman Oval tomorrow, Friday 12 May. Please ensure you have retuned the permission notes today. This will be the first SJV carnival that we have managed to attend in a long time. Covid and poor weather conditions have prevented this special connection the past few years.

Mothers Day Breakfast and Open Classroom

On Friday 12 May, we invite mothers, grandmothers and special friends to enjoy some light breakfast (pastries, tea and coffee) in the hall from 8.30-9.10, followed by a visit to the classrooms to spend time with your children. The morning will finish at 10am. The ELC children will not be attending the liturgy as they will be heading off to the SJV carnival.

ELC Open Days and Tours

We had another successful Open morning on Tuesday and received very positive feedback from the families who visited.  Families are welcome to drop in for a tour on Tuesday 16 May and 23 May between 9:30 and 11am.
