Emergency Appeal for Ukraine
Please consider contributing to the Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) Emergency Appeal for Ukraine. You can choose to donate via www.aidtochurch.org/ukraine to assist with aid where the fighting has been most serious and part that are dealing with an influx of refugees.
Prayer for Ukraine.
O Lord our God, look down with mercy on the Ukrainian people. Protect and save them from the unjust aggressors who seek to subdue them. Grant them steadfast trust in your mercy and protection.
O Mother of God, who gave us your miraculous icon at Zarvanytsia, intercede for the Ukrainian people, who run to the shelter of your mercy in their times of need.
O Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Grant peace and protection to the people of Ukraine. Give them strength and courage to defend what is good, right and holy. Keep them safe from harm and provide for all their needs, both temporal and spiritual.
Hear our prayers, O Lord, and deliver us from distress, for You are merciful and compassionate and love mankind. To You we give glory: the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit, now and forever and ever.
Amen.

Flu Vaccination - No Onsite Clinic This Year
CEB offers support to the staff of the Catholic Education office to receive an annual flu vaccination as an aspect of our staff wellbeing program.
We have previously arranged an onsite vaccination clinic to coincide with the Term 2 CEB staff gathering. However, as the CEB meeting on 26 April is online, an onsite clinic is not planned this year.
As in past years, staff may claim a reimbursement for the cost of a flu vaccination up to $25 received via a pharmacy or local vaccination clinic. Note that consultation fees, as may be charged to attend a GP or medical facility, cannot be claimed for reimbursement.
To claim reimbursement, staff should complete the Expense Claim Form and submit it to Human Resources via Debbie Stabek dstabek@dobcel.catholic.edu.au. You must attach an itemised receipt with your claim.
People & Development Update
Protecting Children - Mandatory Reporting and other Obligations.
Thank you to all staff who have completed the eLearn Mandatory Reporting Module, as mandated by DOBCEL and CECV.
Enjoy your Easter break knowing that your contribution to our collective commitment to child safety ensures that we are all working together to provide safe learning environments for all children attending our Catholic schools.
