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.

We spent time today celebrating St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. St Mary is the pillar saint for our school value of Compassion. St Mary teaches us the power of serving those in need. Her motto “Never see a need without doing something about it” reminds us that the power of helping others lies with us.
