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 P/1/2 excursion to Paronella Park was a bit of a wet one. We still enjoyed learning about Jose Paronella and his beautiful park though. The excursion linked to our HASS learning of different types of environments- natural, managed and constructed. It was a great day!
