Dear Parents and Carers,
God of Reconciliation,
Give us the courage to build a world of justice, equality, compassion and peace for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sisters and brothers.
Help us now more than ever to understand their hopes and aspirations so that we may
all live with dignity and pride in this great land.
Help us now more than ever to build bridges. We pray for your spirit to be upon us as
we work towards reconciliation, and we entrust our efforts into your hands.
We make our prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen
National Reconciliation Week
We are now in the midst of National Reconciliation Week which is held each year between 27 May and 3 June.
The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2025 is, Bridging Now to Next.
For us, as a Catholic school, reconciliation holds a special meaning. Our faith teaches us about forgiveness, understanding, and the importance of treating every person with dignity and respect, just as Jesus taught us. National Reconciliation Week encourages us to put these values into action, particularly in our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
This week provides us with a wonderful opportunity to:
- Learn: Discover more about the rich and ancient cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, who have cared for this land for thousands of years.
- Reflect: Think about the past and how we can work together to build a more just and equitable future for everyone.
- Act: Consider what we can do, even as young people, to show respect, build understanding, and help our community grow stronger together.
We encourage you to talk with your children at home about National Reconciliation Week. It's a chance for us all to remember that we are all part of one big family, and by walking together with open hearts and minds, we can help build a truly reconciled Australia for future generations.
Staff Development Days for Term 2
You are reminded of the two Staff Development Days being held this term:
- Friday 6 June
- Friday 4 July (this means the end of Term 2 for the students is Thursday 3 July)
Students do not come to school on these days.
With every blessing for the week ahead,
Paul Moroney
Principal
TELL THEM FROM ME SURVEY
Thank you to the many parents/carers who have already taken the time to complete the 'Tell Them From Me Survey'. Your participation is invaluable in maintaining our commitment to working together in partnership to further enhance student learning and wellbeing at St John the Evangelist, Campbelltown.
Please know that your input is highly valued and we will share the data with you in upcoming weeks as we continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of our school community.
The survey will actually close on Friday, 30 May 2025. It is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You are able to access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device by using the URL below:

NATIONAL SORRY DAY
National Sorry Day is held on the 26 May each year, where we pause to honour the strength and resilience of the Stolen Generations.
The purple Native Hibiscus flower is often used as a symbol for National Sorry Day. It represents the resilience and survival of the Stolen Generations and its association with compassion and spiritual healing.
On Wednesday Ms Janelle and Miss Polsen, along with our Year 6 Indigenous students, attended the Sorry Day Service at Minto.
Saying sorry is just the beginning.
Reconciliation is ongoing work grounded in action, empathy and shared responsibility.
ACU STUDENTS TO BEGIN THEIR TEACHER PLACEMENT IN COMING WEEKS
This term we welcome five students from the Australian Catholic University who are completing their Teacher Placement at St John’s. These students are currently completing their degree in Primary Education. It is crucial that opportunities like this one are provided for the next generation of Primary School Educators. We welcome them and hope they learn lots while being part of our special community.

THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
This Sunday, 1 June, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. This important feast commemorates Jesus' bodily ascent into heaven, forty days after his resurrection. It marks the culmination of his earthly ministry and his return to the Father, from whom he sent the Holy Spirit to his disciples. It's a powerful reminder of Christ's triumph and the hope of eternal life for us all. We encourage you to discuss with your children the meaning of Jesus going to heaven and what it means for us as His followers.
