As with all Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Sale, we will  celebrate Catholic Education Week from  Friday 16 May – Friday 23 May 2025.

This year’s theme is Pilgrims of Hope to coincide with the Jubilee Year of Hope in 2025.

On Thursday 22nd May, our Senior students will be joined here at St John’s Church, for 10am Mass followed, by senior students from both Columba Primary School, Bunyip and St James Primary School, Nar Nar Goon.

On Friday, 23rd May, our junior students will travel to St James Church Nar Nar Goon, for 10am Mass together with junior students from Columba Primary Schoo,l Bunyip and St James Primary School, Nar Nar Goon.

Morning Tea will follow each of the Masses.

These celebrations remind us all of our unity in faith and our blessings in belonging to our Catholic school communities so please come along and celebrate with us.

 

 

 

Congratulations to all those students who represented St John’s at the District Cross Country event held at Cardinia recently. Overall we did very well, finishing second place as a school together with a great representation of students qualifying to compete in the Division Cross Country event to be held on Wednesday 28th May.

Congratulations and good luck to all runners.

First Eucharist, also known as First Communion, is a significant sacrament in the Catholic Church where a person receives the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, for the first time. It marks a person’s further initiation into the Catholic faith and a deepening of their relationship with Jesus Christ.

We congratulate those students preparing to receive the Sacrament of the Blessed Eucharist on Sunday 30th March, where they will receive Holy Communion for the first time.

Thanks to families, staff and the parish for supporting these students to reach this milestone in their faith and please join us for the celebration.

St John the Baptist Church, Koo Wee Rup – Sunday 30th March, 2025 – 9.30am Mass

Harmony Week

Monday 17 – Sunday 23 March 2025

Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds.

It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.

Here at St John’s we are celebrating Harmony Week in several ways:

Monday 17th:  Students & staff are invited to wear traditional cultural clothing. This is a great way to share and celebrate their heritage with others.

Other activities organised for the week include;

  • ‘Multicultural Moves’; dance incursion where students get to experience and learn different cultural dances
  • Students for KWR Secondary College visiting to run games and activities
  • Multi-age craft and fun activities & wearing a touch of orange

Congratulations to Evie Price and Tony Butera on being elected as our School Captains for 2025.

We are confident that they will grow throughout the year as many opportunities arise for them to model leadership whilst also continuing to be faithful to all we stand for here at St John’s School.
