Foundation
Massive thanks to Mrs Arnold and Mrs Lister, who have been absolute superstars holding down the fort while Mrs Redfern enjoyed the warm Darwin sun. Now it’s your turn — we hope every family dives into a holiday break packed with laughter, adventures, and moments worth remembering. We’re counting down the days until Term 3, ready to hear the stories, the surprises, and the holiday magic you bring back with you.
Wow! Time flies when you are having fun. It's hard to believe that we are 6 months into Foundation!! Look how much we have grown.

ON-GOING REMINDERS
- St John's is a "No Hat, No Play" school, which means everyone is wearing their hats every day. High ponytails and hair buns can cause difficulty for some students in trying to get their hat to actually sit on their head properly. Just something to ponder when creating hairstyles in the morning.
- Everything needs to be labelled. And this mantra will be repeated on a regular basis throughout the year. You will get sick of hearing it, we will get sick of saying it, but please make sure your child's belongings can be easily returned to them should they accidentally be misplaced.
- Zooper Doopers are $1, Cake Raffle tickets are 50c. Both momentous events happen each Friday.
- Lunch Orders are every Wednesday.
- Library visits take place on a Friday. If last week's borrowed book is not returned, a new one cannot be borrowed.
6. Birthday invitations- Foundation is traditionally the year of Birthday Parties. We are happy to hand out invitations at school if everyone is invited, but if you choose to only invite some friends to your child's party (and we completely understand this approach) we would prefer that the invitations were shared another way. Whilst life does have the occasional disappointment, not being invited to a party is a pretty big one when you are 5 or 6 years old and we would rather the school not be the place of the upset.
If you have any questions or queries about anything, please contact us. We have Staff Meetings after school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so these times are unavailable, but can make any other time work.
