Dear SJV Families

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day. The school community will pause at 11:00am tomorrow to remember the sacrifices made by our brave men and women who have

served in wars and conflicts.

2017 SJV Class Teachers

I am pleased to confirm the teaching staff

for 2017 will be as follows:

Mrs Denise Thomas has been appointed as Primary Learning Leader at SJV in 2017. Denise will be working within the school supporting students and staff in the area of teaching and learning improvement. Denise will also be working with Julene Bednall in 2S. Denise will be teaching 2S on Monday and Tuesday and Julene the other three

days.

Katelyn Carroll has been appointed to SJV and will teach 3S in 2017. Katelyn is currently teaching at Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School, Springfield Lakes where she has been teaching Year 3. Maree Cockerill will be teaching Year 2 when she

returns from leave next year.

Class teachers with the support of Mrs Arnold (Learning Support Teacher) will be working together to formulate classes for 2017. The teachers will be using their knowledge of the children and professional judgement to create class lists which include the individual needs of each child; a balance of academic abilities; a balance of

social and emotional needs and abilities as well as a balance of gender.

Staff vs Students Soccer and Netball games and SJV & St Mary Mac Choir Concert

the little things that happen around you and within you every day. It is an openness and willingness to

receive each of God’s gifts.

CHRISTMAS CONCERT

SJV ‘Peace on Earth’ Christmas Concert

5.45pm for 6pm start Thursday November 24th

Venue: SJV School Oval (weather permitting)

Duration: approximately 70 minutes

On Thursday 24th November Michael Mangan will be leading the SJV community with his ‘Peace on Earth’ Christmas Concert from 6pm.

Michael Mangan is a composer, teacher and music liturgist who is based in Brisbane. A former specialist music teacher, he has composed over 250 pieces which are widely used in Liturgy and Religious Education programmes in schools and parishes throughout Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. Michael's music is published in North America by World Library Publications, Chicago. His compositions are known for

their "singability" and suitability for liturgical celebrations, especially with children.

During the concert children will sit in class groupings (to be easily marshaled for their items) as a result they will need to present to their class teacher at 5.45pm. Students will perform in year level order & all students are involved in the finale.

Families are invited to bring a blanket & picnic to enjoy, however, as this is a family event alcohol is not permitted. Since students will be sitting in class groups they will need to have eaten before 5.45pm. Parents/caregivers are asked to ensure that children (other than SJV students) are supervised/seated with them and not playing on equipment/courts/elsewhere around the school during the concert.

Costume requirements are as follows:

Prep: Christmas outfits (red, green, white)

Year One: Christmas colours + red nose or antlers

Year Two: Christmas colours

Year Three: Christmas t-shirt

Year Four: Aussie bush outfits (e.g. jeans, check shirt, straw hat, boots) - optional Christmas t-shirt

Year Five: Red or green

Year Six: Red clothes

Michael’s CDs will be on sale for a short time following the concert. Should you wish to purchase a CD cash is required and small notes are appreciated.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

AFTER 3PM AT SCHOOL

Parents are asked to please exit the school grounds with their

children promptly after 3pm. As teachers are still working in their

classrooms after 3pm and often schedule meetings with parents

and colleagues at that time, noise can be a distraction. Your

consideration and understanding is appreciated.
