Logo & Motto

St John's School, Silkwood

Our school badge is represented by an eagle, a bible and a cross. It displays the words “Always Reaching for New Heights”.

The Eagle is the symbol of evangelization.

The Bible symbolises the connection between the parish and school, named after St John the Evangelist, the writer of the fourth gospel.

The Cross acknowledges our Christian Faith.

Our Motto “Always Reaching for New Heights” inspires all who belong to our community – Parents, Staff and Students – to do their best and strive for greatness in learning and in caring for one another.
