A reminder that the SJV Community Council Open Meeting is on Monday 4 September from 6:00pm – 8:00pm.

The meeting is an important opportunity to have a say in the future of our school. The Council will provide an update on recent conversations with Catholic Education, discuss how to invest funds raised in recent years and consider events for 2024 and beyond.

There are carers from Camp Australia available – please RSVP so we can confirm carers (and food/drinks!)

We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible.

Beth Seivers, Rob Ayling, Matt Thorpe, Annette Doszpot, Marnie Huszar, Tessa Goundar and Dan Spackman.

2023 SJV  Fete  - Best Day Ever!

We are 10 weeks away from this year’s Fete, being held on Saturday 4th November, 10am-2pm.

We still require volunteers - for both beforehand, on the day and afterwards, to ensure we have a successful fete. There are many different ways you can contribute. Please email sjvfete@gmail.com if you're keen to help. 

Do you have any books, toys, crockery, servingware, glasses, homedecor, art and craft, jewellery, stationary, gardening items or kitchen items that you no longer need? 

We still require many, many more donations for the Books, Toys and White Elephant stalls. You can drop off donations at any time - please follow the map that can be found at the front office.    Drop_off_mapdf
