SUSTAINABILITY @ SJV
Thanks to the lovely staff from Bunnings who conducted the planting workshop for the students yesterday.
The children really enjoyed learning how to pot a plant, next time in the garden, we're sure you will have a willing and able helper telling you what to do!!!!
We really appreciate Bunnings ongoing support for our sustainability group and our school.
Thank you!
Happy Gardening !!

Happy Birthday to Harrison R
We have had a wonderful morning with our SJV buddies. It is lovely to see the connections both the Year 5 and ELC children are making, it is very important and assists greatly in the transition to Kindergarten.
Fundraising Day Tomorrow
This Friday 11 August, the St Judes community is coming together to raise awareness and funds for Motor Neuron Disease and Cancer. We have families in our school who have been heavily impacted by these diseases. Children are invited to come to school dressed in any colour that aligns with Motor Neuron Disease (blue) or any cancer (eg pink, orange, yellow, white). The Community Council will be sponsoring a sausage size. We suggest that you also pack lunch for your child. We ask that each family consider brining in a donation to support these important causes.
Mura Gadi Monday
We have had a lovely week of weather to enjoy our Mura Gadi program. Next week we will trial having Mura Gadi on a Monday and Friday so please pack your child’s gum boots on these days.
Hats
Now that we’re getting closer to Spring, please ensure that your child has a labelled hat in their bag. We monitor the UV rating closely, when UV is 3 or more we must wear hats as part of our sun protection policy.
Book Week
The Lobsters will participate in a book week parade on Friday Week 6. The Turtle and Stingray classes will participate in the book week parade Wednesday Week 7 with the primary school.
This year the theme is: Read, Grow, Inspire.
