Friday 7th February will be a day of gathering as a school to celebrate the start of what promises to be a busy and exciting year.

A whole school liturgy in the church at 9.15am will be followed by our first school assembly for the year.

Later in the day the Friends of St John’s Association will host a Welcome Picnic where families are invited to gather from 5pm to 7pm for a BYO picnic dinner.

This is a wonderful relaxed opportunity for families to catch up, welcome new families and chat with staff.  Details below.

 

Welcome to the 2025 school year.

We trust you’ve all had a wonderful break and are relaxed and ready to embark on the year ahead.

We look forward to welcoming our Grade 1 to Grade 6 students back on Wednesday 29th January with our Foundation students commencing on Thursday 30th January.  We extend a warm welcome to all new families and trust you’ll enjoy your time here at St John’s.

The initial excitement of the new year will follow closely with our Welcome Picnic, the Senior camp, swimming lessons and all that is planned for the Term.

If your family has faced any major changes over the break, we’d love to share the joy or support you and the children if needed, so please keep us informed.

Congratulations to our Graduating Grade 6 students who have shown great leadership and example to the students here at St John’s as well as representing our school in the community with pride.

We are proud of the way in which they have followed St John the Baptist’s example in being Respectful, Responsible and Resilient as they have Learnt Together and Kept Safe.

The Graduation Mass was a wonderful opportunity  to not only farewell our Grade 6 students, but also to celebrate their achievements and memories at St John.s.

Our school community wishes them well as they embark on their journey as Secondary students.

This term, our school is proud to support our Parish St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.

We invite all families to donate Christmas items like bonbons, Christmas cakes, chocolates, and other Christmas treats to help bring joy to families in need. The items we collect will be given to the St Vincent De Paul Society to be made into hampers and given to local families.

At St John’s we do this to live out the Catholic Social Teachings, Solidarity—standing together to support one another—and Dignity of the Human Person—making sure that every person feels valued, loved, and remembered during this special season.

Each class will be given a basket for donations. We will collect donations up until the end of November.

Thank you for your support.

We welcome your attendance as our Grade 3 students celebrate their Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on Thursday 14th November at 6pm, St John’s Parish Church.

Students from Columba, Bunyip and St James’ Nar Nar Goon, will be in attendace to receive the Sacrament as well.

Our prayers and congratulations to these children as they take a further step in understanding and participating in their faith journey.
