Celebrating Children's Week - Grand Friends Day - 27th October 2023 

We are excited to invite all SJV Grand Friends to share some time with us. Grand Friends are invited to join us for Mass beginning at 9.30am.  Following Mass our special guests will move to classrooms for a 'Kite' making activity with children.

From about 11.15am, children will meet with their Grandparent/s for some kite flying and a shared lunch (Pre-ordered Pizza & garlic bread). We are hoping it’s a sunny day for a shared picnic and some outside time. 

At this time children from the ELC will also join families for a shared lunch and participate in some Buddy activities in the afternoon, including: from 12.00pm, Year 5/6 students will host their annual 'Side Show Alley' activities.  These mini fete activities raise funds for Catholic Missions.  

Playground Improvements

During the holidays, we welcomed the delivery and installation of a mud kitchen, stage theatre and a market place cubby house.  The children have used these new additions with enthusiasm. During the next few weeks the school will purchase kitchen items, puppets and market items to further enhance the students lunchtime activities.

These additions have been possible because of winning second prize in a Castle and Cubby competition at the end of last year, together with our Walkathon fundraising efforts.

You may have also noticed a number of unexpected holes on the edges of the oval.  We did have an eager 'gopher' during the holidays, a human one that is - Mr Spackman, he very kindly dug holes which Mrs Spackman and her sustainability students are busily filling over the next few weeks with trees. Thank you!
