Activities are optional but participation is encouraged to give the kids a beach experience they will never forget.

Camp dates for 2021 are Friday 12th March 2021 to Sunday 14th March 2021 - with the option to stay either both nights or just one of the Friday or Saturday nights

Booking will be through the Trybooking.com website which will open next week. Dads will be emailed with the applicable link.

Looking forward to another great camp.

WELCOME DISCO POSTPONED

Dear our STJ Community

As you know, our annual St James Welcome Disco was due to be held on Friday 12th February. This beloved event is an important part of our community culture as we welcome new families and children to our school, and celebrate everything about being part of a fantastic community. Unfortunately, due to the current restrictions placed on schools to operate COVID safe events, we are unable to proceed with the planned date. 

We are however, hopeful of holding the event towards the end of term as we celebrate the start of a new year, and new beginnings following a challenging 2020. We are working closely with Brendan and the leadership team, following the operational advice from Catholic Education Melbourne, with the intent of hosting our 'Space themed' disco as soon as it is safely possible.

We are disappointed to have to postpone, and know how much hard work has already gone into its planning, particularly by Sarah Webb. At this stage, the ticket sales via CDF pay have been suspended. 

We will let you know of a rescheduled date as soon as we can, and hope that everyone will attend it in the near future. I'm sure we are all in need of a good dance, and get together. 

Watch this space! (literally)

Sarah Webb, Kate Korber & Kat Cheshire
