Last week, even with the threat of adverse weather, the Senior students took part in the House Athletics Carnival. There was great team spirit within Houses with House Captains encouraging all participants. Despite the developing rain and very cold conditions, the Seniors managed to complete all their events however the Junior competition, scheduled for the afternoon, was postponed.
It is hoped to reschedule the Junior Athletics events as soon as possible.
The Premier’s announcement yesterday, that Victoria’s lockdown was being lifted for regional Victoria was welcome news for many. However, being in the Metropolitan zone, St John’s School will remain closed and Remote Learning will continue until Thursday 12th August or as otherwise advised.
As outlined last week, please remember we are here to support students and their families and will continue to provide learning opportunities via Seesaw and with regular small group Zoom Meetings with class teachers. We appreciate the efforts of our staff and the additional commitment of our families towards their children’s learning.
On-site supervision is limited to conditions as outlined to families previously. Please advise the school office to any changes in your circumstances.
Communication with families will continue via email, Operoo and Seesaw.
Due to current restrictions, our Parent Teacher Interviews will be held via Zoom at your scheduled time.
With Remote Learning and restrictions being a regular part of school life it is even more important that all families give priority to this chance to share and follow-up on their child’s learning.
These interviews are an important opportunity in tracking your child’s progress and any challenges being faced both at school and at home. Parent Teacher Interviews provide opportunities for families to give feedback and information regarding their child’s learning and wellbeing which is invaluable to teachers in supporting students’ school experiences.

After lots of planning and relocation of classes to portables, our building project commenced during the school holidays. The demolition of part of the old library building and gutting of the adjoining classrooms is now complete and the site has been cleared in preparation for the building works to commence.
Students have been watching the demolition works with great interest, hearing the noise and vibrations as brick walls fall and then watching as slabs of concrete, bundles of timber and rubble, were lifted into trucks and removed from the site.
We now wait in anticipation for the development part of the process to commence and see the new and refurbished buildings take shape.
