In STEM classes our students have been working on designing and creating a variety of set tasks including footwear for the seniors, glasses, musical instruments and objects that hang from and slide along a wire for students in other levels, all in preparation for a  Design & Technology Week display.

The enthusiasm has been wonderful and the results speak for themselves with students hovering around the display in the Library Building open area with a lot of excited chatter.

Thanks to Mrs Taylor for encouraging such creativity.

Congratulations to all those students who represented St John’s at the District Cross Country event held at Cardinia recently. Overall we did very well, finishing second place as a school together with a great representation of students qualifying to compete in the Division Cross Country event to be held on Wednesday 28th May.

Congratulations and good luck to all runners.

First Eucharist, also known as First Communion, is a significant sacrament in the Catholic Church where a person receives the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, for the first time. It marks a person’s further initiation into the Catholic faith and a deepening of their relationship with Jesus Christ.

We congratulate those students preparing to receive the Sacrament of the Blessed Eucharist on Sunday 30th March, where they will receive Holy Communion for the first time.

Thanks to families, staff and the parish for supporting these students to reach this milestone in their faith and please join us for the celebration.

St John the Baptist Church, Koo Wee Rup – Sunday 30th March, 2025 – 9.30am Mass
