Term 4 Week 5

St John's is a Child Safe School where all children are respected and are protected from harm.

Principal's Message

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Week 5! Halfway through the term.

Athletics Sports - Our Athletic Sports last week was a great day. As usual Mrs Watson had the day planned meticulously and it ran like clockwork. The students were beautifully behaved and we all had a lot of fun together. A special thank you to the Euroa Secondary College students who helped run events on the day, they did a superb job. Congratulations to Blue team who were victorious on the day.

Drink bottles - Please make sure your child brings a named water bottle to school each day. Due to the COVID restrictions students are not allowed to use the drinking fountains.

Sunscreen - Now that the weather is warming up, could you please make sure that your child applies sunscreen before they come to school, this gives students a good base of protection for the day.

School Board AGM - Our school board AGM was postponed from earlier this year but is now scheduled for 24th November. This is a non-voting AGM.

Hot Shots Tennis - Tomorrow we welcome back past student Kyle Andrews to our school. Kyle will be teaching tennis skills in PE.

Libby Hamilton.

Please phone the office if you have any queries regarding the shirts.

REGISTRATIONS OPEN FOR SOCIAL BASKETBALL!!!
