Principal's Message

 

It is a great privilege to be the Principal of St. John’s, a Catholic primary school, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. As a caring and connected community, we nurture student engagement and a strong sense of belonging. At St. John’s we believe in working together with families and the community, to educate the whole child emotionally, academically, socially and spiritually. Our small class-sizes allow for personalised teaching and strong engagement in the learning. We foster a spirit of welcome for all parents, staff and students, creating a vibrant and supportive community, living the Gospel values of faith and love.
