Our school values its community-oriented approach to student wellbeing and family life.
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.

Harmony Day with the Prep, 1s and 2s meant a visit to the Kindy! We learnt what it means to be inclusive, kind and supportive to everyone as we spent the morning doing lots of activities. We had the students draw themselves to show what makes us unique and there was lots of fun spent outside as the students enjoyed creating tunnels, castles and buildings. A massive thankyou to Ms Cheryl and Mrs Greco for the exciting day at Kindy! 😊💕

Happy Harmony Week!
Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 joined together today for a presentation and discussion of what harmony means to us. We were surprised to learn from each other that we had 15 countries represented in the room. Finally we made a poster “Everyone Belongs” with tessellating people fitting neatly together. You will find this lovely poster in our school hall.
