A Message from the Principal

We are all excited to welcome the beginning of Spring this week. The warmer days and longer evenings fill us with hope and anticipation for outdoor adventures and new discoveries. I hope that you are all taking time to share the joys of Spring as a family. 

 

To encourage everyone to get out and about, we are promoting Walk to School Day this Friday, marking the beginning of Spring and to provide you with a Family Fun Pack. I hope you are able to walk past the school to collect your Family Pack this Friday 3 Sept.

 

This week the NAPLAN results will be released. We look forward to sharing these with the school community and especially with our Year 3 and 5 students.

Joke of the Week

Why do all of teachers at St John's wear sunglasses?                                                     Because their students are so bright!

 

Enjoy the Spring sunshine and have a wonderful week!
