There have been many highlights. Staff have reflected over the last few weeks on the significant achievements of the year. Some of these included seeing the progress in the student’s academic, spiritual and emotional development, all the successful Community events, building strong relationships and generally doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

The staff at St John Vianney’s have worked tirelessly to ensure that it has been a successful school year full of rich learning and fun experiences. I know that you join with me in wishing all the staff who are leaving us at the end of the year, the best of what the future holds for them.  I am sure as they have left their mark on our community, they too will take a piece of SJV with them. 

We would also like to acknowledge the work of Fr Lim and the Parish who has been a great presence in our school. We thank parents for their support and input into the life of the school.  Our community is wonderful, loving and supportive because of the people who build it!

About this time every year we wonder.. ‘Where the time has gone?’  We can’t change our fast paced world but we can ensure that we take time to appreciate all that God has given us and truly appreciate the life we have been given, even though there never seems to be enough time in a day.

I wish everyone a truly Holy Christmas season and a safe start to 2019.  To families and children who are moving on, may the memories of SJV be with you always.

Happy holidays!
