Dear SJV Community
What an amazing week we have just had.
Gracious God, we humbly come before You in prayer today to offer our immense gratitude for the blessing of these selfless volunteers in our lives. We are filled with wonderment at their tireless dedication and benevolence.
May Your Spirit bless them with continual guidance as they faithfully serve others. We beseech You to bestow upon them resilience, daring, and fortitude. Let joy, peace, and satisfaction be upon the good work that they do.
Inspire and motivate them to persist through trying circumstances, steadfast in their dedication to aiding those around them. We are deeply grateful for these volunteers, whose shining radiance reflects the profound beauty and compassion of Your love.
In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen

Raffle
A big thank you also to Mrs Sjoberg, Hayden, Mrs Taflaga, Dimitri, Mrs Doszpot, Andrew and Harry - a real family event!! sales of raffle tickets were incredible, amazing and awesome at Cooleman Court on the weekend in just less than 1 hour. We would like to continue this initiative for the next 5 weeks, but we need a coordinator who can tell people what they need to do and how they go about it. If the coordinator knows some people who would like to donate 60min of their time, that would be an advantage.

● Weekly draw to win 1 x canteen voucher for fully sold books returned in that week (from weeks 1-7 in Term 4) Drawn each Friday at the morning school assembly.
