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.

This week P/1/2 received a visit from the Queensland Country Women’s Association. These ladies delivered a session on healthy eating, focusing on the importance of vegetables in our diet and discussing the parts of the plant different vegetables come from. The highlight of the session was when the students got to make their own pizzas, choosing from different vegetables to top them with.
What a great morning. Thanks to all involved and St John’s welcomes you back for another cooking session!
