Acting Principal – St John's Footscray
What a happy time it is at St John's as we welcome our children back onsite. So far there has been a mixture of excitement at seeing friends again as well as some nerves about getting back into a school routine. Our team is working hard to ensure that children are feeling safe, secure and happy. Below you will see numerous updates/events for the coming week or two. Please also note that we have been advised that St John's is eligible for the government rollout of air purifiers. It appears that they will be sent to hot spot areas first so it may be many weeks before they are installed in our school. A shade sail grant application will also be submitted soon.
As previously advised Lauren Davis will be Acting Principal and Chevon Adamidis will be Acting Deputy Principal from Monday 1st November. Emily Conroy will commence as Principal in Jan 2022, please see our updated staff page on our website for an introduction from Emily.
Finally as I prepare to move to my new school next Friday, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the St John's community, from the incredibly dedicated staff, to the welcoming families and wonderful children, it truly is a community like no other. I feel very fortunate to have experienced four years of leading, learning and light in this place. Thank you for making this so much more than a job, it has been a pleasure to be with you all.
Best wishes as you continue to thrive as a learning community.
