Principal's Message
At St John’s, we are deeply committed to nurturing the whole child. Our learning culture is built on strong foundations in Literacy, Numeracy, Religious Education, Physical Education, and Social and Emotional Learning, supported by rich experiences that allow students to grow as confident, curious, and compassionate young people.
Through our implementation of Magnify Sandhurst, our evidence-based system-wide model for excellence in learning and teaching, we ensure every child is known, challenged, and supported to thrive.
Our school motto, Truth, Love, Service, reflects not only the charism of the Sisters of Mercy who founded our school in 1921, but also our daily commitment to living out these values with authenticity and heart.
We value strong partnerships with families and work closely with parents to share in each child’s learning journey. Relationships matter deeply at St John’s: we pride ourselves on cultivating a community built on trust, respect, welcome, and collaboration. Every child is known by name, and every family is valued as an integral part of our story.
As Principal, it is a privilege to lead such a caring, committed, and forward-thinking school. I warmly invite you to explore more about who we are, what we believe in, and the exciting learning opportunities we offer. I look forward to welcoming you to St John’s and partnering with you to ensure your child becomes the very best version of themselves in our dynamic and nurturing learning community.
