Communication
The key to all good relationships between people is good two-way communication. Our school works hard to ensure all matters are communicated in a prompt and timely way. There are a number of key methods of communication that all parents need to be aware of.
SCHOOL NEWSLETTER
The School newsletter is produced during the first week of every term and every even week thereafter on fortnightly basis. It is sent home on a Monday via email. Parents may choose to have a paper copy sent home also. Parents are asked to read the newsletter, as it gives up-to-date information about events and arrangements at school.

Click here to download the letter sent out to parents relating to the establishment of the school's Facebook page. We ask all parents to take time to carefully read the Acceptable use of St John’s Catholic Primary School Facebook Page. This document clearly outlines expectations for users. Those who do not interact with the page for the purposes it is intended will be contacted by the school, or, removed from the group. |

EMAIL
Teachers and the school will use email as a direct source of contact with families. Email addresses are gathered from parents at the beginning of each year. Newsletters and other documents are often emailed to parents. This is not only time efficient but also doing our part to reduce our copying costs.
Teachers will also communicate with parents as the need arises via email, class notes etc.
