Last Saturday night we celebrated our final Whole School/Parish mass for the year. The students did a wonderful job with the readings and participation throughout the service. The supper afterward was a warm and joyful gathering, and everyone had a lovely time together. ⛪🥳😀 #stjohnssilkwood ... See MoreSee Less

St John's students made a splash at Tully Pool for their annual interhouse swimming carnival, enjoying the fun-filled day of competition and school spirit. A big thank you to the P&F for providing a yummy sausage sizzle for lunch and organising transport to and from the pool . We also extend our thanks to all the parents who were able to attend and support the students. A special thank you to the parents who supplied us with watermelon - it was much appreciated and enjoyed by everyone. What a fantastic day it was! 🏊🥳 #stjohnssilkwood ... See MoreSee Less

What a busy day we had today! We wore our Crazy Socks to raise money for Catholic Mission. Yoa, from Catholic Mission, joined us at Assembly to explain how the money we raise is used. Yoa also brought VR goggles, which gave students the opportunity to see what it is like to live in Zambia. Thank you, Yoa!
We recognised our award winners, those having birthdays, our saints and our super saints. Congratulations to all students! You are awesome.
We spent time to remember Daniel Morcombe and the significance of Day for Daniel, and finally, we celebrated our wonderful teachers for World Teachers’ Day by treating them to a special lunch. We are so grateful for all they do to make our school great.

1/2 have loved reading James and the a Giant Peach so much that we decided to make our own replica of the peach. Pictured are some of our budding artists who helped to draw the main characters of the story. Everyone helped to make the seagulls and paint the peach … what an effort! Great work kids!! ...
