Qualifying students competed at the District Swimming Carnival held at the Koo Wee Rup Swimming Pool on Thursday, February 26th. Despite the strong winds, the competitors enjoyed the challenge of competing against students from eight schools within our District.
St John’s students were very successful, achieving Third place overall.

A huge welcome back to our students and their families for the start of our 2026 school year, which is sure to be a fantastic one with so much planned already and to look forward to.
Students in Grades 1 to 6 will commence on Wednesday 28th January however due to the Foundations’ 4-day week transition program, our Foundations will commence on Thursday 29th January.
Keep an eye on the fortnightly newsletter for what’s planned, especially our Whole School Start of Year Mass, Family Picnic and Senior School Camp details.
This event has become one of the favourite days on the St John’s calendar. All children and staff participate at their individual comfort level, but for most, it’s all in, color from head to foot and laughs all around.
