100 Days of Kindergarten

On Monday, our Kindergarten students celebrated 100 days of Kindergarten. Miss Kennelly and Mr Doepel organised a wonderful day for our Kindergarten students.

They participated in a variety of 100 based activities. Some of these included creating a portrait of themselves as 100 years old, they created crowns, completed a 100 day activity booklet and tried to write their names as many times as they could in 100 seconds.

The Kindergartens also had a disco in the hall and paraded their wonderful costumes through the school. Thank you so much to Miss Kennelly and Mr Doepel for making this such a fun and exciting day for our Kindergarten students.

OzTag Gala Days

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, some students from Year 3-6 attended OzTag Gala Days. Thank you to Mr Spencer and Mrs Dess for organising this opportunity for our Year 3-6 students. 

"Tuesday was the perfect Winter weather for the boys OzTag Gala Day. We had two, Year 5/6 teams and two, Year 3/4 teams representing St Johns, with every team having at least one win! The boys showed great skill and teamwork, often encouraging each other and supporting the other St Johns teams when they were having a break. Well done to all of the boys who attended on Tuesday." ~ Mrs Dess

"Even Though we only won our first game, it was a great day and an amazing experience. We all enjoyed spending time together, getting to know each other better, forming stronger bonds and doing what we love together. We want to thank all the teachers for the great OzTag day they planned for us." ~ Hayley Greenhalgh, Penelope Posantzis and Allira Richarson (Year 5)

"We won two out of our five games. It was an amazing day. Our teams and referees were very nice and all encouraged each other and shared the ball equally around each other. We also created a stronger bond, and learnt new team skills. Overall, we think it was very fun!" ~ Emma Duke and Alex Lowther (Year 6)

A "Bluey" Perspective

Join families from schools across the Archdiocese to hear Joe Brumm, the creator of Bluey, discuss his success with the children's show Bluey and his perspective on developing and maintaining positive relationships with our children (and their school) and the important role parents play in their child's learning and development.

This presentation is made possible by the support of Catholic Education Canberra and Goulburn and Catholic School Parents Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn.
