Dear St John the Apostle families,

In this last week I simply want to thank everyone for a fantastic first term of the year, particularly given the circumstances we have all faced. Thank you all for your support and commitment to the school and your child's teacher. Thank you for you collaboration. Thank you for your contribution to our community.

Pupil Free Day

I'd like to remind everyone that the first day of school in Term 2 will be on Wednesday 27 April. Tuesday 26 April will be a Pupil Free Day when our staff undertake further Professional Learning as part of the Catholic Education Catalyst Program. 

Through this program our staff continue to develop their knowledge about the latest understandings in the Science of Learning and apply this to their teaching. We're already pleased with the impact on student learning that has been experienced and look forward to the increased use of high impact teaching practices across the school.

Winter Uniform

Our students return to school in Term 2 wearing their Winter Uniform. An outline of the Winter Uniform can be found on our school website. Thank you to our parent volunteers who are providing many opportunities for families to access the Uniform Shop and be ready for Term 2.

I pray that everyone has a healthy and safe Easter and holiday break. We also keep in our prayers those families who are experiencing great challenges at this time, that they experience some peace and rest in the coming two weeks.

Thank you all.

Matthew Garton
