Welcome

Picture
St John’s Catholic Primary School, Walkerston, is a vibrant, Christ-filled community which exists to meet the educational needs of students in Prep to Year Six, with an approximate enrolment of 230 students. At St John’s School we strive to make a difference in the lives of the young people entrusted to our care and to their families.

We are proud of our facilities and resources, proud of our students and extremely grateful for the tremendous support we receive from our parent and parish community.   

This website serves to outline some of the many processes, procedures and routines that occur at St John’s School.  All enquiries and questions seeking clarification are very welcome.

Community News

Some very exciting news that I would like to share with you all is that this year there will be significant building work happening at St John’s. Hopefully commencing Term Two 2018, we will see the following capital work occur:
  • Building of two new classrooms under Block D (near the eating area);
  • Full refurbishment of Block A (current Year 1, learning support office, computer lab, and Year 2);
  • Modification and expansion of current Administration/staffroom building;
  • Modification and refurbishment of Prep;
  • Removal of Block E to allow for additional play space and a remodelled entry from Dutton Street;
  • Minor works to the stage area of the hall.

It is hoped that this work will be completed by the end of 2018. Consequently, there will be a number of classroom movements next week to prepare for the work to commence.

Many thanks to our Diocesan Director, Miss Leesa Jeffcoat, for the financial contribution to this project. It is also due to the ongoing contributions that parents make to the Diocesan Building Fund, paid as a part of your school levies, that this project can be funded. I look forward to sharing plans with you prior to the project commencement.
​WELCOME BACK MORNING TEA
On the first day of school in 2018, join us and other parents of St John’s for a morning tea in the library. Take the chance to sit down, grab a cuppa and relax after the rush back into school routine!
UNIFORM SHOP
The remaining stocks of our old hats are now selling out for $5 each. This is a great opportunity for parents to purchase one of these hats at well below cost price, and they are fabulous for the children to wear around the yard at home as well as at school. Please be aware that the change-over period to the new bucket hat ends in June 2018.

Formal Uniform: Due to lots of unforseen interruptions during the year, production of formal uniform items has been very slow. I’m now working very hard to have as much stock made up as possible before the end of term and will endeavour to have all orders filled. I thank all parents in advance for your understanding and if I can’t have your order done by the end of term please rest assured that it will be ready for the start of Term 1 in 2018.

Uniform Orders: If parents wish to place orders with me over the Christmas holidays you are more than welcome to phone or message me on 0448 541 215 or email me at rcabela1@bigpond.com Please ensure you include your students name in communications so i know who i am holding orders for.   Click here to download the latest Order Form
