Term 3 Week 2

St John's is a Child Safe School where all children are respected and are protected from harm.

Principal's Message

Dear Families,

Thank you to everyone for their continued patience during this current lockdown, hopefully, next Wednesday we will all be back at school. The Victorian Government announced this morning that we will continue lockdown until midnight next Tuesday so remote learning will continue until then.

Google meets - Parents and students are reminded that when Google meets are taking place that students must be wearing a school top and our Child Safe regulations require that a parent be present/close by whilst the Google meet is taking place.

On Site Supervision - On site supervision will continue to be offered to families. If you require on-site supervision for next Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th July and fall into the following categories please email principal@sjeuroa.catholic.edu.au by 5pm Thursday 22nd July. We can only have your child on-site whilst you are out of the home at work, if you are working from home you must keep your child at home.

● Children of Essential services operators - both parents must fall into this category, and have no other family members able to look after your child.

● Vulnerable children (e.g.; children in out of home care etc.)

Please refer to attached link for comprehensive list. https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/authorised-provider-and-authorised-worker-list

Fee payment - Account Statements were emailed out last week. We will be phoning several families in the next week to discuss your financial obligations, which may not currently be being met, as part of your childs enrolment at St John's. Accounts are expected to be promptly paid as per your preferred option, either via lump sum at the beginning of the year or per Term installments. Unfortunately we can not offer free education at St Johns. If you are experiencing financial difficulty please contact the school.

School Advisory Council Meeting - The School Advisory Council was scheduled to meet next Tuesday 27th July, however due to the current lockdown this meeting has now been postponed until a later date.

Kind regards,

Libby Hamilton

Week 2 Prayer

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit. He guides me along the right path; He is true to his name. If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear. You are there with your crook and your staff, with these you give me comfort.

May those who serve and lead in the Church: that they may follow the example of Christ, the Good Shepherd.

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. For all who work in the service of others; that the Lord’s compassion may be visible in them.

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. We pray for a truthful mind and heart. May we listen with care to each other seeking God’s justice and peace.

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Bless us, O God, gather us into one-fold with Jesus Christ as our shepherd. Bless our work so that it is seen as the work of your hands, and bring lasting peace to all, near and far.
