Chinese New Year Celebration This Friday
Whole School Stomp Dance Lessons
On Monday, 16 February, we had the Stomp Dance Co. come to St John's to give us a little taster of their dance program. Each level attended a 30 minute session where they learnt age appropriate movements and choreography to Hip Hop music. It was great fun and we are grateful to Mrs Amanda Hill for organising this for us all.

Year 3/4 B Learning Spotlight - Health - How do I shine?
In Year 3/4, our students have been learning about their strengths and how they can use them to help themselves and to benefit others. They have shared how we are all different and that we each shine in our own unique ways.
The shields are a wonderful representation of how the students in 3/4B shine through their achievements, challenges, and strengths, and how they use these to continue to grow and develop.
