Welcome to 2024 at Santa Sabina!  Twenty-twenty-four shapes to be another busy year with the College celebrating its 130^th anniversary.

There are three ways that families can stay up to date with happenings at Santa: by subscribing to the Santa Sabina calendar; using the calendar function on the College app or through using the calendar on Veritas Online. The calendar is the source of all events that are occurring on both the Santa Sabina and Del Monte campus as well as the community events that occur throughout the year. On the landing page of each issue of Veritas Voice we publish key dates of interest in the next three weeks (taking us to the following issue of this newsletter).

As mentioned earlier, the College app is the primary source of all notifications and schedules for sporting and music activities at the College. By clicking on the sports icon on the app, families can view the training or rehearsal for their child to assist in planning for the week ahead. If families have not downloaded the College app, I encourage families to do so. Simply search the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Android) for Santa Sabina College. Look for the red and white Santa Sabina College logo.

Veritas Online (also known as VO), our school management system, is a key information source for families. All new families should have received login instructions to access Veritas Online at the commencement of the school year, while existing families can access Veritas Online using their existing details. If you are having any difficulty accessing Veritas Online, please contact our IT Team either by emailing itsupport@ssc.nsw.edu.au or by phoning 9745 7104.

Saturday sporting competitions have commenced for the year. Due to Health and Safety concerns, dogs are not permitted onsite. Please be aware staff will ask spectators with dogs to leave the premises.

A reminder to all families driving to school that the Kiss and Ride zones on Carrington Road and Jersey Road are strictly no parking zones between 7:30am and 9:00am and again between 2:30pm and 4:00pm. Burwood and Strathfield Council Rangers and police regularly monitor the areas around the College to encourage compliance.
