FAMILY HOLIDAYS DURING SCHOOL TIME
Families wishing to end the year early to commence family holidays are asked to contact the office to complete documentation which outlines your expected return dates to school. This is vital also for families who may not be back from the commencement of the 2024 school year. Clear communication enables us to ensure all enrolment placements can be held with confidence.
Families should also be aware that the first weeks of the school year are an important time whereby your child becomes familiar with their new classmates, teacher and the routines of the new class. Families should think carefully about these impacts before booking extended holidays.
NATIVITY PERFORMANCE TICKETS
On Thursday 7th December, some members of our St John’s School Choir in conjunction with our Year 2s will be presenting the Nativity Story. Parents are invited to attend one of 4 performances throughout the day. Two performances will occur during school time, with the other two performances occurring later in the day. All parents will be sent a booking form link in the week prior to these presentations, so they can secure up to 6 seats. We are very excited to gather as a school community to celebrate the festive season and recall the meaning behind Christmas, which is to remember the birth of our Saviour, Christ.
Yesterday our Year 2 students and the Choir members, received an Operoo notification outlining the details of the four Nativity Performances. In order to finalise the number of students participating on stage, parents who received this notification are required to acknowledge the form by this Friday.
2023 SCHOOL FEES
The final date for payment of outstanding 2023 school fees was last Friday 17th November. Please contact the school office if you still need to finalise your family payment.
2024 SCHOOL FEES
Current school families were sent the Direct Debit Forms for next year, last week. A reminder these forms need to be returned by 1st December to ensure the your preferred payment schedule can be set up fully prior to the first payment date. Thank you once again to all the St John’s families for your continued support.
