Principal Post

From the Principal. . . 

Dear Families,

It was terrific to see our preps finally able to get to Werribee Zoo as part of the learning Inquiry on Monday. After a false start due to poor weather early in the term, they had a wonderful day on Wednesday! 

Our 3/4 will also go to Werribee Zoo tomorrow! 

Family / Teacher Conferences

I hope that you have all booked your times for next weeks  learning conferences. You can access the parent portal here:  

https://portal.cev.vic.edu.au/

If you are having issues logging in please send an email to admin@sjvmulgrave.catholic.edu.au with your child's name and class.

These 10 minute interviews gives you an opportunity to discuss with your child and teacher(s) their learning progress. 

Please note that school will finish next Tuesday at 1:10pm and interviews will begin at 1:45pm. The Interviews will conclude at 8pm.  It is a long working day for the teaching staff, so I ask that everyone keep to time.  

Next Wednesday the Interviews will begin at 3:30pm and conclude at 6pm.

If you would like to see a specialist teacher I ask that you email the specialist directly.

Preps 2020

We have sent out our Letters of Offer for Prep enrolments for 2020. We will once again have 3 Prep classes.

We have met with all new families and are currently meeting with existing families who have a new  Prep beginning in 2020.

Staffing News...

Next week Linda Tracey will conclude her teaching post as 1/2GT classroom teacher. We thank Linda for her expertise and the care and support she has given her students and families. We wish her well as she prepares for the birth of her second child.

Kristina Khoo will go on maternity leave at the end of the second week in third Term.

I will inform you of our new teacher appointments by the end of Term.

 We congratulate Frieda Sison and her partner Ian as they await the birth of their second child in November! Frieda will continue to teach in Prep S until 4th Term. I will advertise for a teacher to  join Emma Sofra beginning Term 4.  It is such an exciting time for their family and I know that you will  continue to keep them in your prayers.
