Building project is proceeding well, on time and on budget ($6 mil). This will make a great improvement for students in 2010. There is no government grant for this project which will be funded by school fees over the next ten years.

105 interviews of prospective children and parents have concluded and offers of places will be posted this week to be returned by 7 August.

On Sunday 26 July, we will be thanking Helen for the many years of service she gave to St Anne’s School. Helen retired on 1 May after 25 years and one term with us. The celebration will begin at the 10.3Oam Parish Mass and will be followed by Morning Tea in the General Purpose Room of St Anne’s School. For catering purposes, please contact Nicole on 9744 3055 or email nicole@sasunburv.catholic.edu.au if you are attending.
All welcome.

The update began two weeks ago and will last at least another month depending on the weather.  Parents are advised that in the absence of any on-site parking, they will need to allow extra time so that their children will be on time for school as parents will be parking some distance from the school. The works are being partially funded by the Federal Government ($200,000) and by parents ($100,500).

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAPITAL GRANTS TO OUR TWO SCHOOLS:

After discussion between our principals, parishioners who are educationalists, our parish priest and diocesan education authorities, the parish has been offered and has accepted new capital grants of $5.325million distributed in proportion to the number of students at each school. Projects include new classrooms, multi-purpose rooms, specialist rooms, IT equipment and school ground improvements. Construction of some projects will begin soon, while other projects are in the design phase. All projects are to be completed by January 2011. These new facilities in our two schools will enhance the educational opportunities for our current 806 students as well as the students of future generations.

A statement from Cluster of Schools is being released. The cluster of schools are Sale- sian College, Sunbury College, Sunbury Downs College and Sunbury & Macedon Ranges Specialist School.
The four principals of the cluster schools have worked together over eighteen months in a selfless way for the benefit of the young people of
Sunbury. Last week, the final submission was made to the Federal Government to fund a new 6 million dollar trade training centre on the corner of Riddell and Racecourse Roads, with a component also at Sunbury Downs College. The new purpose built teaching facility will offer VET Certificate II level studies in eight trades—Aeroskills, Engineering, Hair and Beauty, Hospitality, Building and Construction, and Electro-technology. The proposal has been supported by the Catholic Education Office and the Salesian Congregation. The full statement is in the Salesian College newsletter and other school newsletters. These VET subjects can be part of VCE and VCAL.
The cluster has been supported by a consortium of interested groups including Hume Council, Victoria University, Batman Tafe, Qantas, Honda,
Western Water and the State Government Department of Education.
If funded in October 2009, the new trade training centre hopefully will open in February 2011.

These close on Friday 15 May.

Please forward your application to your respective school. 

Parents and guardians of Year 1/2 children are also invited to a presentation by Fr Andrew Hayes, Parish Priest of Casterton in Western Victoria, in our ‘Parenting in Faith’ series on WED 13 May at 200pm and repeated at 730pm in the Parish Centre. He will reflect on some of the issues of living our faith in our families and our society, and of passing our faith on to our children in a way that is simple and life- giving. Fr Andrew was here last year and those who attended found the sessions enjoyable, friendly and helpful, and presented in a most lively and refreshing way. The topics are different this year so you will certainly hear something new. 

All families with children in Year 1 or 2 at any of the schools in our parish area, are warmly invited to celebrate the many gifts which God has given you and which you and your family bring to our parish community at 10.30am Mass at St Anne’s Church next Sunday 17 May. The Year 1/2 children will receive a special blessing and a small gift.
