Our Values
Principal's Message
A very warm welcome to the St John’s, Silkwood community! St John’s prides itself on the culture and traditions built over the years at the school. The school’s proud history began in 1948 when the school was by founded by Parish Priest Fr Alfred Natali and the Missionary Franciscan Sisters. We are a very welcoming community that believes that working together to achieve a common goal brings success for all. Our staff, students and parents remain focused on our sense of being a ‘learning community’ and are proud of their great achievements over the years.

In P/1/2, Teddies joined the class before the Teddy Bears Picnic last week. They helped the students with our measuring and data. The teddies also helped with other work too. They were so busy that they had sleep overs at school for the week. But that’s when they got into mischief!
On night 1 they had a dance party in the cupboards and some teddies were grounded after that!
On night 2 they played with our school games like dominoes and mobilos. They even lined up for ice cream at the ice cream truck!
But on night 3 they set up a camp and toasted marshmallows around a fire. They must have had lots of fun! The children were very excited to see what antics the Teddies got up to!
At the end of the week the teddies went home. Apparently some teddies are still crying because they want to come back.
See you next year teddies!!
