Dear SJV Families

Welcome to the end of Wk 2.  

I have a few important pieces of information that I want to let our community know about.

NAPLAN 2023

Today year 3 & 5 NAPLAN results will be forwarded home to parents via their child's bag.  These have changed from last year.  I have placed a link here -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcYsiLtE7a8 - to explain the current report.  I am very happy with our schools results, especially given our cohort size.  This also gives all our teachers an idea of how we can help students in some specific areas.  Whilst saying that, NAPLAN is one test on one day, and does not override our  PAT (Primary Assessment Test), classroom and CE assessments, it accompanies them.

DISCO BINGO Adults Night - Saturday 19th August 6:00pm - BYO drinks

I have already booked my tickets for the Adult Fun Disco Night on Saturday 19th Aug. This is a chance to meet new people, dance...... or not, win prizes and eat pizza! What's not to like???  Seriously this is a good way for our community to come together again after putting up with a three year pandemic.  A table will be found for you and I am sure that you will have a great night.  

Welcome to our Parish Community

I would like to welcome Harry Taylor to our parish.  Harry was baptised over the holidays and will be confirmed with all of Year 6 later in the term.                          

Change of Date - Questacon Excursion now Mon 14th August  

Just an FYI - An excursion for K-4 has been organised for Questacon which has been moved from Thursday to Monday. 

Away from School - Mon 31st July - Thurs 3rd August

Next week I will be away until Friday attending a National Principals' Conference and our ACT Regional Principals' Meeting. 

I will be here Thursday night attending our SCC Meeting and back of course for our SJV Feast Day.  Mrs De Rosa will be Acting Principal until I return on the Friday. 

God Bless

Peter Rodda
