Principal's Message

Dear Families,

Welcome to Week 8!

It is a relief to have everyone back on-site after the last remote learning period, it reminds us how lucky are we to live in a great part of regional Victoria.

Lunch Orders - Lunch orders were going to be unavailble tomorrow, however they will now be going ahead as usual. Thank you to Bibby and her team from “Fare Enough” for always providing quality food and an excellent service to our school.

Contact Details - We would appreciate that if your contact details have changed recently that you give Andrea a ring or send her an email to update them apenman@sjeuroa.catholic.edu.au

COVID restrictions - Thank you for everyone for adhering to the current guidelines that were outlined in the letter that was sent home last Thursday. We appreciate your support with this and want to remain open.

Cold Weather - Now that we are officially in Winter, could parent please make sure that your child brings/wears a named jumper to school each day. We have had a number of students complaining how cold they are at break times, when we go outside.

Parent/Teacher Interviews - We are waiting for advice from the Catholic Education Office as to whether we can proceed with face to face Parent/Teacher interviews. If you haven’t booked in for an interview, please take time to do so, just in case we are able to go ahead.

School Advisory Council Meeting - Due to the current COVID restrictions, the School Advisory Meeting that was planned for 15th June has been cancelled.

Principal Vacancy - Last Monday the application period for the Principal position here at St John’s closed. We hope to find out who the successful applicant is very early next term.

Centenary Celebrations - We are turning 100 this year. We are looking for any memorabilia- books, reports, uniforms, photos etc - that we can take a copy of or borrow just for the weekend. Please give us a ring at school or send an email to principal@sjeuroa.catholic.edu.au. We’d love to see anything.

Kind regards,

Libby Hamilton
