Hello Everyone,

As the term comes to an end there is lots to celebrate and look forward to in next term.

Staffing

Tomorrow we officially farewell Matt Barlee as he takes on a new role at Corryong College, we thank him for being a part of our Sacred Heart community, the knowledge and fun he has shared with our students, staff and families and look forward to seeing him at combined sporting events in the future. We are excited to have Marie Nagy starting in the role as Year 2/3/4 Classroom Teacher next term. Marie is a great fit for the Year 2/3/4 Classroom Teacher role, she already has a great understanding of our students from her Specialist Teacher role in Semester One, 2024 and she has an excited bunch of students awaiting her, who cheered when they heard she would be their new teacher.

Amy Lockwood will be on leave for the first four weeks of next term. While she is on leave, many of the Specialist classes will be covered by Wendy Hodgkin.

North East Emergency Workshops

Last week our Year 5/6 students were joined by the Corryong College Year 5/6 students and Staff to participate in Safety workshops with Ambulance Victoria, Victoria Police, SES and CFA. This wonderful initiaitve came from the North East Emergency Action Group who used funds raised at the North East Emergency Expo to put back into the local community by providing this opportunity for our students. The students were thoroughly engaged in the workshops and proudly shared what they learnt with staff and other students. Thank you to all of our local emergency services who led our students in their learning on the day, it was incredibly invaluable learning.

Parent & Carer Community Group

This week we held a Parent & Carer (P & C) meeting where we discussed many upcoming events and opportunities for feedback from our Sacred Heart community. This included -

Khancoban Kitchen Fundraiser
Hot lunches in Term Three
Book Fair
Uniform Feedback
Flashing lights for the school zone

Our next meeting is Tuesday the 30th of July at 3.30 pm in the School Library. All Parents and Carers are welcome to attend. You don't have to come to all meetings (1 - 2 a term), if you're available and want to come along for just one, you're most welcome!

F/1 Assembly

Come & Try Morning - Open Day

We have been working with different services and organisations in Corryong and surrounds who support the Under 5 programs to fine tune the transition process from Kindergarten to Primary School .

Both Sacred Heart School and Corryong College have worked together to create a plan for sharing information with Preschool families.

So far we have both attended the Preschool to meet with families at pick up time.

We have welcomed parents and their child/ren for a 'Come & Try' morning this week.

Next term we look forward to welcoming parents and carers to our Open Day and Parent Information sessions.

Recently we had the Preschool 4 year old group visit Sacred Heart School for an excursion with a focus on Sports activities.

Sacrament of Reconciliation

The Sacred Heart Parish would like to gather information regarding the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If you would like to have your child celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation please notify the school via email to admin@shcorryong.catholic.edu.au or coliver@shcorryong.catholic.edu.au. We will then communicate with the Sacred Heart Parish Wodonga and discuss with you how we may move forward with the sacramental program in Term 3.

Sacrament Program:– Reconciliation (requirements: Baptised in the Catholic Church. Normally offered to Grade 3)However, there may be families who are requesting catch-ups for a variety of reasons.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holidays and I look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 15th of July for Term Three.
