The SJAPS Canteen Exploratory Working Group volunteers want your help to shape the future of the school canteen.

As you may have read in Compass, we’re exploring the exciting possibility of reopening our school canteen- but we need your input. What would make it a hit: healthy bites, quick lunches, allergy-friendly options, or Friday treats?

Complete the short survey by Fri 12 September.

Lets cook this up together!

The Uniform Shop

Opening Hours

The Uniform Shop continues to be refurbished. While this occurs we are open for online orders only.

Painting has been completed which has given a refresh to the old space. Fingers crossed upgrades will be completed by the end of September. Please watch this space for updates and relevant uniform shop announcements. Thank you for your understanding.

If you have any questions or concerns please email the uniform shop at stjohnsclothingpool@gmail.com

Professional Family Portrait Fundraiser

We will be holding a professional family portrait fundraiser on the weekend of the 15th and 16th November 2025. 

For $20 you will receive a professional 10x13 inch colour photo. You will be able to purchase additional photo packages at a very affordable cost.

For every photo booking $20 will go to the school. The funds raised will go towards a shade covers around the school. 

The photos will be held at Western Foreshore Park, Macdermott Pl, Belconnen. This is a pet friendly event. If it is raining, the photos will be in the school library. 

This is a great opportunity to have professional photos that can be used as Christmas gifts.  Collection of the photos will be from the school, date to be advised prior to the end of term 4.

 The Athletes Foot School Rewards Program

Did you know that SJAPS is part of the Athletes Foot School Rewards Program?

As part of this program the Athletes Foot will donate $5 to our school for every pair of shoes purchased from the Belconnen Mall’s Athletes Foot store by any of the school staff, students, or members of their families.

All you need to do is nominate SJAPS at the time of your purchase for the sale to be counted towards the Program Rewards.

School rewards apply for EVERY pair of shoes purchased, across the complete in-store range of adults and/or kids sports, school, work and casual shoes.

Next time you are looking to purchase new shoes for your children, yourself or for others please keep this program in mind.
