Dear Parents and Friends
We started the week celebrating and acknowledging Catholic Education Week as a community. My sincere thanks to Mrs McConnon and the Year 6 Catholic Identity Student Leaders who organised and prepared the beautiful prayer service and activities with buddy classes. I look forward to continuing the celebrations with you on Friday as we celebrate our Feast Day with a whole school Mass followed by open classrooms and morning tea for parents in the hall. I hope you can join us to celebrate the excellent teaching and learning
happening here at SJV.
On Monday evening we hosted 1 2 3 Magic Parenting Course that was kindly sponsored by our P & F. I was amazed and excited by the wonderful attendance of approximately 50 parents. This is a real credit to our parents for their commitment to learning and supporting
our children. Some of the key learnings from Monday for me were:
When we regulate ourselves, we can put on the brakes
Children are not mini adults
Children are overwhelmed with too much talk or emotion
We need to set limits
We need to have consequential parenting
Encourage or prompt children
Show them or teach them expected behaviours
Emotion is real. Emotion is important.
It is what we do with it that matters!

SCHOOL WIDE EXPECTATIONS Our SJV School-wide Expectations:
Be Respectful Be Responsible Be Safe Be a Learner
Value: Justice
Practising justice is being fair. It is solving problems so everyone wins. You don’t prejudge. You see people as individuals. You
don’t accept it when someone acts like a bully, cheats or lies. Being a champion for justice takes courage. Sometimes when you
stand for justice, you stand alone.

This month our policy of the month is the SJV Code of Conduct. This has been developed by our School Board over the year. Many members of our community would be familiar with the language used in this policy with their experience with high schools and children’s sporting clubs. We have attempted to include areas that describe our expectations as a community, including social media. This policy will describe the expectations of our current members and future members of our community. At enrolment, parents/guardians have accepted our school policies and procedures. I invite any feedback you may have about this new policy to be emailed to me. I am grateful that our families uphold such strong
values and respect all members of our community.

Catholic Education Week and SJV Feast Day
On Monday this week we launched Catholic Education Week with a Pastoral Care morning led by our Catholic Identity Student Leaders. Wearing pyjamas for the day was a treat for many! After our Catholic Education Prayer Celebration, buddies joined together to participate in a
range of fun activities as a way of fostering relationships across our student body.
A prayer for Catholic Education Week
May you be blessed with constant hope, with confidence in what awaits you and a strong trust that all shall be well. May you be blessed with bounteous love, with many surprises and with an ever-deepening love of the Holy One. May you be blessed with graced surrender to let go of what keeps you from growing, to learn from the obstacles that arise and to live each day with a spirit of openness. May you be blessed with courage, to stand strong in adversity, to wait with patience for what you need and to look forward to the new growth awaiting in you. May you be
blessed especially in this Catholic Education Week. Amen.
(Joyce Rupp- Prayer Seeds)
On Friday 2 August we will be celebrating St John Vianney Feast Day with a Mass at 9am followed by open classrooms. At 10:30am morning tea will be provided for parents in the Nano Nagle Hall. We
hope you will be able to join us for this special morning.
Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
On Thursday 15 August our school community will join the parish at 9:30am to celebrate Mass for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This Feast Day is recognition by the Catholic Church of Mary as a faithful follower of God. Parents
are more than welcome to join us.
May peace be with you.

Ideas 5 and 6 from 10 Ways Reading is a Secret Power (IDT Library Network: 2019)
On Thursday 15 August, only 2 weeks to go, we begin our Book Week celebrations! We are looking forward to the
Big Dreams performance coming to SJV. Here is a short overview:
BiG DREAMS is an educational incursion that features a selection of the Children’s Book Council 2019 shortlisted books. Providing a gateway into accessing the best in Australian Children’s literature, BiG DREAMS teaches students not to be discouraged by negative messages in order to follow their heart’s desire. Filled with humour, suspense and featuring student interaction throughout, this educational in-school musical
adventure encourages our students to pursue their ambitions. If you’re going to dream, let them be Big Dreams!
Book Club is expected to arrive Friday of this week or early next week, thank you for your support.
Book Parade Monday 19 August 9am - dress-up as a book character or on the Book Week theme. Costumes can be simple or elaborate as you
like, e.g. Be Tiny Timmy and come dressed in soccer gear or maybe your secret reading power takes you to outer space or back in time.
For adults during Book Week, the Lord Mayor’s Writers in Residence series presents - What should my child read? With Frances Whiting,
Rebecca Sparrow and Megan Daley Tuesday 20 August 6-7pm at the Wynnum Library - please see the attached flyer.
SJV Scholastic Book Fair begins Tuesday 27th August - Friday 20 August
Congratulations to Best Friends of the library this week Prep S and 6V.
Happy Reading!

Message for the Week: Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Semester 2 P.E.
As the Inter-School Sporting Program is drawing to a close for the year, this provides a wonderful opportunity this semester to showcase student engagement in physical activity during P.E. classes. Last week, Oztag Queensland provided a Development Officer to run Oztag activities during classes. The photos speak for themselves! I would encourage parents who have not yet selected an outside school sport for Term 4 for their
children to get involved in the Oztag opportunity in the local area. No training is involved and it is great fun.
Water Safety and Swimming Program
Arrangements are being finalised for our Annual Water Safety and Swimming Program, scheduled for the first four weeks of Term 4. Please ‘watch
this space’ for updates.
SJV Singlets
A friendly reminder that the SJV singlets distributed to competitors for all our Inter-School carnivals are on a ‘borrow only’ basis. Please ensure these are laundered and returned to the school via the class pouches or directly to the office as soon as possible after the event. Thank you for
your attention to this.
SJV Showcase
We continue to showcase our students’ sporting achievements in outside school sporting activities. Information and photos for all sporting events
(including local sporting events) can be sent to [email protected]
Please be mindful that when sending in photos they must contain only SJV students due to privacy and confidentiality legislation.
Thank you for your continued support of ‘all things sport’ at SJV.

COUNTDOWN!! We are doing the final countdown………5 weeks until our musical!! Get ready SJV for The Pirates of the Curry
Bean………
The coming weeks will be extremely busy as we pull all the strings together. Please ensure your student has their costume organised by week 5 as
we will be requesting ALL COSTUMES to come to school in a named bag by 28 August. Please name individual items of clothing as well so that
we can return anything that gets lost along the way.
If there are any questions about costuming, please see Mrs Vester or Mrs Cox.
Key dates
Friday August 16 Costume/make-up trial for all Year 5 & 6 students. Photo shoot for the musical programme between 2-3pm Thursday August 22 Main cast rehearsal at Iona for all Year 5 & 6 students [12-3pm] Friday August 30 Whole School rehearsal at Iona [12:30-3pm] Thursday September 5 Whole School Dress rehearsal at Iona [12:30- 3pm] and 6pm show Friday September 6 Evening performance at Iona starting at 6:30pm
Parents have received an email for permission for their child to attend rehearsals and performances at Iona. Please ensure that you respond as
quickly as possible!
Tickets and Dates
Mrs McConnon has already emailed out information on how to purchase tickets. Here is a recap:
On Monday 5 August at 9am, tickets for our Musical Pirates of the Curry Bean will go on sale. The cost per ticket will be $20 plus a .50 cent
administration fee. To allow every family the opportunity to attend this special event we have had to limit seats to two per family over the two
nights.
For example:
Option A: If attending Thursday night then purchase 2 tickets for this night then drop/pick up children on the Friday night
Option B: If attending Friday night then purchase 2 tickets for this night then drop/pick up children on the Thursday night
Option C: Attend Thursday night 1 ticket and attend Friday night 1 ticket
We will close ticket sales on Friday 16 August. Once we have checked booking
details we will be able to notify families if there are any additional seats
available. We will be using an online system called Trybooking for purchasing
tickets. We are hoping this will be a smooth process as Iona use this system
for their IPAC events. We strongly encourage members of each family to
communicate and decide who will book their two tickets just to ensure we don’t
have any double-ups, if this does happen the additional tickets will be
cancelled and refunds will be organised. Thank you in advance for your
understanding and cooperation with this process. This is the link to book your two tickets:

We can’t wait to see you there for this exciting event!!
