What staff are learning about
I am always amazed at the generosity of teachers. Even though we are so busy at the moment, we have had several staff commit to having a prac student from ACU. We have three wonderful teachers with us Jackson in 6M, Sabrina in 3B and Olivia in 4M.
Giving student teachers the opportunity to be in a classroom is essential for their development but also beneficial to the supervising teacher. The sharing of ideas and rich discussions help all involved to focus on the teaching and learning in the classroom.
We look forward to seeing how they develop during their time at St John’s.

What a week!
First week of full time onsite learning for Year 4.
Seeing how much all of my students have grown (yes… some are taller than me!)
Seeing their faces over the top of a mask filled with joy at seeing their friends.
Lots of early morning walks with a very bouncy labrador.
Meeting new kinders for 2022.
A haircut..finally!
Prayers answered in the finding of Cleo in Western Australia.
Remembering what it is like to drive in traffic!
The highlight though, in a week full of joy, was when I heard one of the new Kinders for 2022 calling out “Hello Mr KinderGarton!” to Matthew as he greeted the students and families.
What a blessing young children are. A reminder that children will find joy in all things, we just have to remember to notice it.
A request
I have recently purchased a school candle. It is quite large and requires a sturdy candle holder. I am hoping someone in the community might be able to make one. Metal or wood or both would be lovely. If you are interested could you contact me on stephanie.stewart@cg.catholic.edu.au so we can discuss.
God bless
