SJV DAY AND WALKATHON

On Wednesday 4th August our school celebrated Saint John Vianney's Feast Day. John Vianney was a priest who lived in France over 150 years ago. He worked in the town of Ars. He talked to the people and taught them about God and Jesus. He was their Parish Priest for 40 years. After he died the Pope decided that John Vianney should be made a saint for the great work that he did in Ars. He became a saint on 4th August 1928. As part of our school's celebration we had a walk-a-thon in the morning then we went to Church for a school mass. After lunch we were put into groups that had children from prep to year 7 in them and we did 6 different activities. The activities were organised by the parents. We did Lob-a-choc, drawing on canvas, butterfly making, jumping castle and tug of war, cake decorating and matching the pictures of the teachers. It was a fantastic day and we thin our parents are great for organising it all for us.
