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.

Our first Pre-Prep morning was a success! We listened to the fable about ‘The Lion and the Mouse’, acted out the story and then made puppets. The Pre-Preps then performed the story for the class. What a big effort… and so much fun.
