Chancellor's Message
Today, as we commemorate the life and legacy of St. Patrick, let us remember the values of kindness, unity, and perseverance that he represents. It's a day to celebrate the rich culture and heritage of Ireland, but also to embrace the beauty of diversity and the importance of coming together as a community.
Here at SV, we're lucky to have such incredible students, supportive parents, and dedicated staff members who make our school shine bright every day. Your unwavering support and involvement in your child's education truly make a difference, and for that, we are truly grateful.
As we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, let's encourage our champions to wear green on Monday, share smiles, and spread kindness wherever they go.
Wishing you all a happy and safe St. Patrick's Day filled with laughter, luck, and lots of love!
