Dear Families,

Happy New Year from the entire VCE family! We hope that you enjoyed the holiday season and we look forward to the remainder of the school year.

As we move into January and the colder weather, please check to see that your child(ren) have warm jackets, hats and gloves as they leave for school each morning. Having your last name printed in these garments will allow us to return the items should they become lost.
