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.

Today, our grade 6 students had the opportunity to run for either school or sports captain. We are so proud of the effort each one of them put in to preparing for their speech and the confidence they displayed when presenting to staff, students and parents. Well done, to you all!

We had a great morning celebrating our wonderful country today. We enjoyed making...and eating😋...lamingtons and Vegemite sandwiches, painting our flags, and working on Australian-themed puzzles, games and activities. Wrapping the first week of the school year up in learning and fun = big smiles😃
