Principal's Report

Welcome back

Welcome back to Term 4! We hope you had a wonderful break and are now ready for an exciting and productive new term.

This term is filled with opportunities for learning, growth, and fun. 

To our students: Remember that each day is a chance to be curious, ask questions, and discover something new. Your teachers are here to guide you, and together, we'll make this term memorable.

To our parents: Your support and involvement are invaluable. We appreciate your trust in us, and we're committed to providing the best education and experiences for your children.

As we dive into Term 4, let's embrace challenges, celebrate successes, and create lasting memories together. It's going to be a fantastic journey, and we're thrilled to have you with us.

Let's make this term a time of growth, creativity, and learning.

Welcome back, and let's make it a great final term!

Applying for Selective High School placement for 2025

The application process has begun for Year 5 students to apply to sit the Selective High School test. Many parents and carers mistakenly believe the application process starts in Year 6. With applications opening on 9 October and closing on 20 November 2023, parents of Year 5 students should submit their applications promptly. 

For more information on the application process go to:

Enrolment for 2024

We are still accepting enrolments for 2024, particularly Kindergarten. We are conducting enrolment meetings and have scheduled two opportunities for Transition to School for Kindergarten. Please contact the office or complete the online enrolment application.

This week orange notes are being sent home to students in Kindergarten to Year 5. These notes give families the opportunity to let the school know whether or not their child is returning to St Johns Park Public in 2024, whether they will be returning late or whether they are not returning to our school. I ask that these notes are returned to the school office as soon as possible as the information provided allows us to make informed decisions about the structure of our classes in 2024.

All students who return their note before 24 November will receive a token for a free Fruity Ice from the canteen.

Quote for Week 2:

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
