It is a very exciting time for them both and we wish them every blessing for Saturday and for their future.

Brynell will return to work after the Long Weekend as Mrs Lacriarde (Foundation L!!!)

Meet & Greet Interviews Survey

Thank you for your attendance at the Meet & Greet interviews last week.

We have sent a short survey to get your feedback as to what worked well and what could be improved. Thank you to the parents who have replied to this. The survey link was sent yesterday via seesaw and is still open should you wish to provide feedback.

We also have the link HERE.

We will feedback the results in the next newsletter.

Open Days & Enrolment (2024)

Our first 'Open Day' for 2023 was held on Monday with several new families touring our school! It was a most successful morning and wonderful to see our Publicity and School Captains speak so confidently and with pride about our school. Our next 'Open Day' is Friday 8th March. Please spread the word about our school and encourage families to come for a tour. We are hoping for three Foundation classes again in 2024.

If you have a child that is coming to St John Vianney's in 2024, PLEASE COME TO THE OFFICE TO COLLECT AN ENROLMENT PACK. A text message will also be sent to all parents later today. We would like all sibling enrolment forms to be back by Friday 31st March to assist us with planning.

Pizza with the Principal

Our Foundation Families will gather for Pizza with the Principal on Wednesday 8th March, 6-7pm. This night is an opportunity to enhance family-school partnerships and a great way for families to build relationships with each other.

Information has been sent to you and we ask that you return your Pizza orders by the close of this afternoon.
