Enrolments: 

2026 enrolments will open on Wednesday 19 February – enrolment packs can be obtained from the office or our website after this date.

Our Foundations are settling in well, with lots of ‘school firsts’ being experienced. They are developing relationships with their buddies who are proving to be wonderful examples of friendship and expected behaviour.

We have also held our Swimming Sports and trials, our Welcome Picnic and now the seniors on the Grade 5/6 Camp at Forest Lodge. They started with a morning at Wilsons Promontory and are now emersed in various on-site activities at the camp.

Meanwhile all the other day-to-day learning and school routines are well underway.

 

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.
