Dear SJV Families

I have placed some small housekeeping notes below.

I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable break and I have placed this prayer below to ensure that we all return to school safely.

Do not forget that the first day back from the holidays is Tuesday 18th July. 

In prayer, we ask God to surround people experiencing homelessness with His protection. Dear Lord, Your Word often talks about people in need finding safety. We pray today for homeless people, that children and families in need with no place to call home will be guided to places of peace and security. Amen

School Uniform - Semester 2

A reminder that our winter school uniform is in full swing.  We have noticed that some children do not have the correct black shoes on (white and white striped runners on non-sport days) and we have put this down to growing feet.  Could you please make sure that if your child needs any new uniform items or black shoes that you arrange this over the holidays.  

Parent Pick-Up Arrangements

Sometimes parents organise friends or other parents to pick up their children when an emergency strikes.  Could you please ensure that you notify the front office if someone different is picking up your child.  Staff are very reluctant to release students into the hands of adults that they do not know.  

Farewell

I would like to wish Ms Huttley a fond farewell from SJV, as she has accepted a teaching opportunity outside of CE Canberra.  Celeste has been a valuable addition to our Learning Support team and I wish her all the very best for her future career in education.  

God Bless
