Download our Primary School Enrolment Package, fill it the form and drop it into the school office. Alternatively, contact the school office by phone or in person to put your child's name on the enrolment list and you will be given/sent an enrolment form.

You are most welcome to call and make an appointment to meet with the Principal, or book a time for a tour of the school grounds and buildings.

Enrolment interviews are held in May and June. You will receive a letter or phone call during April informing you of a time for you and your child to come in and meet with the Principal. Written offers of placement will follow in July.

If you are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to pay fees, please discuss the situation with the Principal. Your situation will be treated with care and confidentiality and an appropriate arrangement may be made for you.  No student will be refused enrolment because of a family’s genuine inability to pay fees.

There are many opportunities for your child to become involved in extra-curricular activities;  St John's competes in Public Speaking, chess and J-Rock. We have representative teams in swimming, athletics, cross country, soccer, rugby league, basketball netball and cricket.  Children also have the opportunity to try out for Mackillop (Diocesan representative) teams in several different sports.  We have an environmental group, Student Representative Council, a school choir and music tuition. 

At St John's we believe that all members of the community have the right to a learning and working environment free from intimidation, humiliation and harm. We all share a responsibility to create a culture of caring which will not tolerate bullying. We believe that bullying must be taken seriously and is not acceptable in any form. In witnessing Christian values we reject ideas, beliefs and behaviours, which marginalise or victimise people.

Parents are encouraged to become actively involved in their children’s education at St John's. Ways you can help in your child’s classroom might be reading with children, taskboard groups or covering books in the Library. Other ways of becoming involved are volunteering to help in the canteen, attending special days and events such as school liturgies or performances, helping at special events such as sporting carnivals, school fetes, assisting getting costumes and props together for performances such as J-Rock.  Families are also encouraged to attend mass in our St John's Parish.

St John’s welcomes parents and grandparents to help in the classrooms. Each grade will be different, but parents often participate and contribute in the classroom.  This could include helping with reading and literacy programs, mathematics groups, technology, craft, or by offering expertise in a particular area of interest, such as Indigenous Education or Music.
