Welcome to Term 4 Week 2 Newsletter

Dear St John Families & Community,
 

Enhancing Catholic School Identity

Thank you to everyone who followed me on Instagram page ‘principalperspective’ while I was attending the study intensive at Leuven Catholic University in Belgium last term.  I had a fantastic learning experience and really appreciate the brilliant community spirit we have here at St. Johns.

The work in this area will continue into the future with the focus being on how we continue to be a welcoming community while promoting our Catholic identity for a contemporary society- exciting times ahead!

I hope you all had a great first week back at school and have settled back into the daily routines.  Our Grandparents Day performance was a wonderful success. This is a memory that our students and grandparents will treasure for life.

 Term 4 Classroom Excursions are in the Classroom Newsletter.

During the school holidays Bu Donna, Justin Marsh and Simone Mashford traveled to Jakarta as part of the Engaging with Asia Program- supported by Catholic Ed. They visited 3 different school’s MIN 2, MIN 1 and MIN 3 all these schools are Islamic Schools.  MIN 2 is recognised as our sister school. During the visits they watched many welcome assemblies, visited classroom and engaged with the students and teachers in both Bahasa Indonesian and English.

During week 5 we are lucky enough to have 2 teachers and 6 students visiting us from MIN 2 school, they will be enjoying a few day trips and will get the opportunity to engage with our students and teachers.

We will be having an official welcome assembly on Monday 11 November at 2.20pm. We would like to invite our St John parents & caregivers to attend to welcome our Indonesian visitors to our school. (more details to follow).
