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.

“And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts.” – Acts 2:46 🤍
Everyday, our students share more than just lunch; they share kindness, compassion, friendship, with joyful hearts. It’s beautiful to see our school community caring for one another and creating moments of togetherness each day! 🥹💕
