Dear Parents

Welcome to Week 6.  Recently we have been faced with challenges and opportunities as a community.  This leads me to remember a quote from St Augustine - 

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you. 

Community Meeting - Catholic Education in Weston Creek/Molongolo

I would like to thank all our parents who were able to attend last night's community meeting.  Many things were discussed but I feel that many people thought that they were not 'heard' during the process.  I feel that there is an opportunity here to listen to the needs of the SJV community to see what we want for our school.  I also believe that it is better to present solutions to CE rather than problems.  This then puts our community on the front foot as how we would like see our school develop over the next five years.  As such, I will be asking for a representative from each year level and a member of staff to form a consultative group headed by our SCC Chairperson, Rebecca McMahon, Fr Michael and myself.

Corona Virus/ Covid 19 Update

Tomorrow I will send out a direction from CE as how our school community will deal with all aspects of Covid 19.  These directions will follow recommendations from the department of health and will be set for the safety of our whole community.

Working With Vulnerable People Card

A reminder that all parents who work or volunteer within the school must have a WWVP card on them at all times.  It is well within the right of the ACT Government to complete spot checks within our school to see if we are adhering to the legislation regarding school visitors.  If you do not have a card, these can be applied for through Access Canberra.
