What Students are Learning About

Across the school students are starting the year learning about what it means to belong to St John the Apostle Primary School.  We focus on our school crest and its meaning. Also we reflect on our three school rules, Respect Self, Respect Others and Respect the Environment. 

What Teachers are Learning About

Teachers spent the first day of our professional development reflecting on the theme of Pilgrims of Hope. Pope Francis has declared this year a Jubilee year and the theme is 'Hope'.  We looked at what hope means to us as Catholics, more than a wish but a true understanding that our hope is actually “confident expectation”. 

We focussed on Paul’s letters to the Romans and Corinthians.

Hope does not disappoint.

Father Tru came and shared Mass with us to end our day. 

We will be sharing more about Pilgrims of Hope as the year progresses. This is the Pilgrams of Hope symbol, you will see this displayed through the year in our school.
