Dear Families,

It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of the 2021 school year.  It has been a wonderful year of many firsts for me as the Principal at St John’s.  I’ve enjoyed the many events and celebrations unique to our school this year.  This week we will celebrate our year 6 students end to primary school with their end of year dinner and school Christmas disco.   Next Wednesday 8^th December we will celebrate the end of our school year with a whole school thanksgiving mass during the day.  Unfortunately, with COVID-19 we have been unable to have our whole community attend our Graduation Mass as St Luke’s is unable to accommodate our whole community due to restrictions on numbers.  This year the Graduation Mass will be for our graduates and their families only.  

                                                      Class Placements 

                                     Practical solutions for yourself, your child 

                                                                      and

                       your school for a smooth and healthy adjustment and transition.

Worried about your child’s class placement in 2022  It’s perfectly natural to have a preference for a particular teacher and normal to feel worried or disappointed if they don’t get them.

A child’s emotional adjustment to leaving this year’s teacher and preparing for next year’s teacher is interconnected with your feelings about it.

Here are loads of ways you can help make the transition smoother for your child if you or they didn’t get the news you were hoping for.
