We would like to thank the SJB community for your ongoing support and commitment to creating such a vibrant and welcoming community. SJB really is a special place where families nurture, care and look out for each other. Your participation and involvement contributes enormously to creating such a wonderful faith filled community for all to thrive.
To our School Advisory Council and Parents and Friends members your balanced insights, reflections and actions always have the SJB community at the heart of all you do. We are enormously grateful for the time that you dedicate to SJB and all the work that you contribute to our wonderful sense of community. Thank you to all for all that you have contributed throughout the year. You are all truly amazing.
To the dedicated and passionate SJB staff. We are truly blessed to have a team of educators committed to providing our students with the best possible educational experience. Our staff work tirelessly to collaborate, moderate, learn, plan, teach and build strong relationships with all students to the best of their abilities. Our staff are committed to ongoing learning and school improvement to be the best they can be. In a time when the teaching profession is losing teachers and schools can struggle to employ teachers, we are incredibly fortunate to have such a professional and skilled staff.
To Father Thomas, our Faith Leader and Parish team thank you for your ongoing support and partnership throughout the year. We are exceptionally fortunate to have such a strong partnership and relationship with Father Thomas, the Parish Team and Parish. They are always open to working together to build a strong faith community. Father Thomas is always open to visiting our students, supporting our programs, as well as welcoming us to the church. We are exceptionally proud of our parish and school connection. Thank you Father Thomas and the Parish community.
We wish everyone at SJB all the best for a safe and blessed Christmas. May your Christmas be filled with love, joy and happiness. We wish you all a holiday season filled with relaxation, rest and rejuvenation. For those who are travelling, travel safe. We look forward to welcoming you all back in January 2025.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a wonderful 2025.
