We acknowledge the Taungurung people, the traditional custodians of this land and we pay our respect to their elders past, present and emerging.

Dear Families,

We have reached the final week of Term 3 and there is still plenty happening at St John’s!

Our Catholic Social teaching focus this week is "Care for Creation" and on Thursday afternoon, each class will care for an area of our school grounds. It is a simple way for our students to put their faith into action and take pride in their school.

Junior Excursion

Our Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 students had a brilliant day out today enjoying the Tiny Tales incursion at school before travelling to Shepparton to see Room on the Broom live on stage. A playground stop on the way home finished the day perfectly! A big thank you to our wonderful Junior Team Staff for all the work that went into making the day possible.

Division Athletics

Yesterday many of our Years 3 to 6 students represented St John’s at the Division Athletics. Thank you to Linc, Lisa Crowe and Nic for the day and to the many families who came along to cheer. These students represented our school with great pride and wonderful sportsmanship throughout the day, a big well done to all students involved!

Sacrament of Reconciliation

Please keep Gracie, Harry, Lleyton and Leah in your prayers as they celebrate their First Reconciliation this Thursday at 10am. Looking ahead in Term 4, The Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation will be celebrated on Saturday 28th November at 6pm, with Bishop René joining us. Preparation will begin in Week 1 of Term 4. Thank you to Lou Frewen for preparing and coordinating these special events. Lou heads off to Europe on Monday and we wish her a wonderful trip and look forward to welcoming her back after the long weekend in Week 5 of Term 4.

Relay for Life

St John’s has a team in Euroa’s Relay for Life, where our baton will be carried from 11am on Saturday 7th November until 11am on Sunday 8th November. Families can carry the baton for St John’s during the 24 hours, donate to the cause or simply come down and cheer us on. We will need plenty of people to help us get across the line so please support this wonderful cause! Join our team or donate here.

CESL Survey Winner

Thank you to everyone who completed the CESL School Engagement Survey. We really value your feedback. Congratulations to the Bickerton Family who are the winners of our survey prize!

Hats Hats Hats

Our No Hat, No Play rule is now in place. With UV levels increasing, please make sure your child has a clearly named St John’s hat at school each day. New hats can be purchased through the St John’s uniform website.

We will then finish the term with Footy Colours Day on Friday, students are encouraged to dress in their favourite team. Our Year 6 students will lead some fun activities for the day followed by the much anticipated staff versus Year 6 game!

Please remember that school finishes at 2:15pm this Friday.

I hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing school holiday break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 5th October for the first day of Term 4.

Take care,

Sam
