SCHOOL OPEN DAY

Come beyond our school gate and discover the fantastic opportunities offered at St John the Evangelist during our upcoming Open Day on Wednesday 6 March: 9am-11am. If you’re interested in enrolling your child, it’s a great chance to take a tour of the school, chat with our friendly teachers, and meet other families. 

OPENING SCHOOL MASS

Our school community gathered in joyful anticipation on Tuesday, 20 February, to mark the beginning of the new academic year with a solemn and uplifting Opening School Mass. The occasion was an opportunity to relaunch and highlight our School's Vision and Mission. We will continue to refer to our Vision and Mission with students and parents throughout the year.

The Mass provided an opportunity to welcome new students, families, and staff members into the St. John's community, fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion. This was highlighted after communion, when the new members of our community stood as we sung, ‘Welcome to the family’.

The Opening School Mass, led by Fr John, served as a powerful reminder of the values and principles that underpin the St. John's, Campbelltown community. It was a time for students, staff, families and carers to come together in prayer and to seek guidance and blessings for the year ahead.

We also acknowledged our Year 6 Student executive (School captains, Vice captains & House captains) and leadership teams at the end of the Mass. Our senior students received their badges and recited their commitment pledge in front of the community.

Thank you to Miss Costello for coordinating our Opening School Mass. Thanks also to the enrichment choir, readers and eucharistic ministers for their involvement in the liturgy.

MEET & GREETS

Thank you to parents/carers for their attendance at our ‘Meet and Greets’ this week. The purpose of this is to provide a greater insight into the learning and well being needs of the children in our care. 

The feedback from these meetings has been positive by parents, carers and teachers. If there are any matters that arise during the year about your child, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

DROP OFF & PICK UP

As we strive to ensure the safety and well-being of all our students, we kindly remind parents & carers not to drop off or park in the bus zone situated on Lindesay Street.

It is imperative for the smooth operation of this area for the safety of our children that the bus zone remains clear at all times. Therefore, we ask for your cooperation in refraining from dropping off or parking vehicles in this designated area in the morning and afternoon.
