School Education Board

Welcome

 

Welcome to 2021 in what we all hope will be a more settled and somewhat normal year.

To all the new families joining St John’s this year, we hope you enjoy your journey and feel welcomed by the entire school community.  Even though the Board only met physically a few times last year, we continued with our meeting schedule via google meets, so we are well prepared for the new school year ahead.

 

As you will have noticed, the building works have begun and are due for completion prior to Winter. The redevelopment will provide much needed learning and play spaces and we all look forward to seeing the end result.

 

As was mentioned last year, the management of Catholic primary schools has been taken over by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS). This will also mean a few changes for the School Board as we update and adopt a new constitution. This is something that will be worked on as a priority for the start of the year.

 

We look forward to welcoming some new members this year and we would like to take this opportunity to advise families of the date for the AGM which is Thursday 18 March at 7pm. The AGM will be held at the school, will take approximately one hour and everyone is welcome to attend. Please do not hesitate to speak with Monica or Verona if you are interested in joining the Board. The St John’s School Board acts as an advisory committee to the Principal and insights and discussion are welcome.  

 

We hope to see some new faces on Thursday 18 March 2021.
