Welcome back everyone to the final term of 2020. It is a beautiful time of year filled with warm days and plenty to do outside. It's always very noticeable how much the students have grown when they come back in their summer uniform.

I hope everyone had a restful break during the school holidays. I was encouraged to hear that many students just relaxed at home or in holiday programs. Term 4 is a busy time and so that small breathing space before it starts is very wise. While I spent a lot of time at school over the course of the break I also managed to spend time in my garden and listened to a few good audiobooks.

Welcome to our new students and their families. Welcome to Paige (Yr 5), Ella (Yr 3), Abbey (Yr 1), Celine (Yr 2) and Daven (Yr 3). You are now part of the story of St John the Apostle Primary School. We wish you the very best of times during your journey with us. Thank you for the privilege of being part of your story.

Working Bee

We are holding a short working bee on Sunday morning to keep up with spring

growth, focusing on the back of the school, particularly the Kitchen Garden. We'd love your assistance. Please let us know of your intentions to attend here.

40th Anniversary Celebration

We're looking forward to our 40th Anniversary Mass next Sunday the 27th October and being able to celebrate the story of St John the Apostle Primary School. We would love you all to join us at the school for Mass at 11.00am followed by a sausage sizzle and open house. Visitors will be welcome to come and relive their own memories as well as catch up with old friends.

Thank you to Tegan Campbell (mum of Ethan in Year 1) who has been preparing a display of old photos for the day and to Stephanie Stewart (and her family) who have been mosaicing the cross at the entry to the school as a 40th anniversary gift to ourselves.
