This event is for enrolled students only and will commence at 4pm and finish at 5.30pm.
Get the glitter out, dancing shoes on and bring along a little cash to purchase treats and glow items to enhance the experience.
Wednesday 24th June marked the Feast day of St John the Baptist, Patron Saint of our School and Parish communities.
We celebrated the day by commencing with a Liturgy during which all those present were invited to come forward to place a shell of water into a communal bowl, symbolising that in Faith we come together as one community.
We also listened to members of our school community explaining why St John’s is a special place for them, with an over-arching theme of kindness, care, friendship, learning, encouragement and belonging, from both students and staff.
Children joined in muli-age group activities in their House groups, completing activities based on Baptism and St John the Baptist.
Following a Sausage Sizzle lunch, the classrooms were open for parents and visitors to join in aftermnoon activities with thier children.
