Congratulations to our Graduating Grade 6 students who have shown great leadership and example to the students here at St John’s as well as representing our school in the community with pride.

We are proud of the way in which they have followed St John the Baptist’s example in being Respectful, Responsible and Resilient as they have Learnt Together and Kept Safe.

The Graduation Mass was a wonderful opportunity  to not only farewell our Grade 6 students, but also to celebrate their achievements and memories at St John.s.

Our school community wishes them well as they embark on their journey as Secondary students.

This term, our school is proud to support our Parish St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.

We invite all families to donate Christmas items like bonbons, Christmas cakes, chocolates, and other Christmas treats to help bring joy to families in need. The items we collect will be given to the St Vincent De Paul Society to be made into hampers and given to local families.

At St John’s we do this to live out the Catholic Social Teachings, Solidarity—standing together to support one another—and Dignity of the Human Person—making sure that every person feels valued, loved, and remembered during this special season.

Each class will be given a basket for donations. We will collect donations up until the end of November.

Thank you for your support.

We welcome your attendance as our Grade 3 students celebrate their Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on Thursday 14th November at 6pm, St John’s Parish Church.

Students from Columba, Bunyip and St James’ Nar Nar Goon, will be in attendace to receive the Sacrament as well.

Our prayers and congratulations to these children as they take a further step in understanding and participating in their faith journey.

 

A large crowd gathered for our Grandparent’s Day Celebrations. The church was filled with visitors for our Liturgy which was a moving and fitting tribute to our grandparents. Morning tea followed in the hall and then visitors gathered around the oval for House Sports, unfortunately as strong cold wind tempted to bring rain.

The events concluded with the ever-popular Marching competition and an overall win for Scott (Green) House. Grandparents for whose grandchildren are in their final year were presented with a gift from the Parents & Friends Association.

Following a sausage sizzle lunch, classrooms were open for children to share with their visitors.

 

 

 

What a Wonderful night it was!

Our students’ performances were fantastic and by the smiles and excitment expressed, what a positve expeerience it was for all, although tiring for the youngest students.

Congratulations and thanks to Rhiannon McFarlane and all staff involved in co-ordinating rehearsals, students and their costumes, props, trave,l ticketing etc.
