World Teachers' Day

This Friday 27 October is designated as World Teachers' Day. This is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge our wonderful teachers who give so generously of themselves to support the faith, learning and wellbeing of the children each day. I am in awe of our teachers at St John's who work with such dedication and commitment. Over recent years I have witnessed the workload of teachers increase with extra compliance and accountabilities, just as has happened in many industries. However, our teachers always ensure the children come first in everything they do. As a committed member of our Catholic community, they very much show that they are the 'face of Christ.'

Your children are very welcome to show their appreciation of their teacher in some way this Friday.

Transition to School Playgroup

We are now in the second week of our Transition to School Playgroup which is aimed at supporting the new Kindergarten students of 2024 in making new friends and in becoming more familiar with 'big school.' It is also a great opportunity for parents to meet other parents. Long term friendships can be made at such gatherings.

If your child is commencing Kindergarten with us next year and you have not been able to attend one of the playgroup sessions up to now, you are strongly encouraged to attend over the following two weeks. Just contact our office for details of dates and times.
