This Week's Updates

 Dear Families,

I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend, and your children enjoyed the extra long break with Friday off also. I am delighted to be back at school after recovering well from my surgery. A lot has happened in the few weeks I was away and I would like to thank all members of our wonderful St James community for supporting Anita Dell'Orso, our Acting Principal during my absence. I would also like to acknowledge the work Anita and Josh Crowe, our Acting Deputy Principal, did to keep our St James community moving forward. The organisation and facilitation involved to ensure all restorations were complete and classes could move back into the new rooms was very thoroughly done. Thank you Anita, Josh , staff, parents and of course students.

Given it's a Tuesday this will be a brief update sheet.

Second Hand Uniform Shop & Morning Tea 

We will be running our second hand uniform shop in our Community Centre tomorrow Wednesday 12 March. We will have a morning tea from 9am -10am. This is a wonderful opportunity to catch up with other parents and purchase some uniform items. We hope to see you there. 

P & F Meeting 

We are still in need for Volunteers for the P & F this year and will be having our first P&F Meeting on Thursday 13 March at 6pm.

If you are interested in contributing or helping out, please come along. As with all things, the more people we have helping out, the easier it is on all, and the more enjoyable the whole experience is.  It's also a great opportunity to make some new friends within the St James community. There are a range of things that we provide support for, for your child, so if you can spare some time to assist, it will be greatly appreciated.

If you are interested, please email pandf@sjvermont.catholic.edu.au
