Principal's Report
Dear Parents/Carers,
The onset of spring is certainly upon us. Nature has returned to the cycle of blooms and blossoms, and what a joy there is in the lengthening of days. Spring is a season where we get to witness God at work bringing about renewal. It can also bring a tangible sense of hope. We nurture hope whenever we wonder what God is doing to bring about change in our world, something that is particulalry relevant in 2020. We also foster hope for others when we are present to those who need us. We don’t need to say any magical words. Showing up for them and providing the warmth of our love and affection can be a powerful witness of hope. I pray that we are all soon able to enjoy the company of more people as restrictions continue to ease.

Welcome baby Crawley
We pass on our congratulations to Mrs Crawley, our Visual Arts teacher, who gave birth to her second child, Billy, last week. Mother and baby are doing well.
House Pride Day
Our Year 6 student leaders and their teachers have organised a 'House Pride Day' next Thursdy 24 September. During the day, the classes will participate in some sport games and activities within their 'house colour.' To help in the spirit of the day, children will be able to wear their sport uniform and a coloured shirt that supports their house.
End of Term 3
You are reminded that this term at St John's concludes for the students on Thursday 24 September. Staff will be involved in a Professional Development Day on Friday 25 September so it will be 'pupil-free.' Term 4 will commence on Monday 12 October.
Wishing you a safe week.
God bless.
Principal
