Religious Accreditation
We recently celebrated all staff at St John’s being accredited to teach in a Catholic School and to specifically teach RE in a Catholic School. Teachers must complete between 25-50 additional professional development hours in order to achieve this accreditation.
Additionally, for those teachers who teach the subject of Religious Education, they must obtain a post-graduate degree in order to be full accredited. It was incredibly affirming to have more teachers than ever fully accredited in this area. It is commendable that they have sought further qualifications in order to ensure the teaching and learning students experience is the best quality.
The photos below show teachers presenting their certificates of accreditation in the Professional Development week.
Year 12 Induction
We celebrated our Year 12 Induction on Friday, Week 1, with a beautiful prayer celebration, acknowledging the commencement of the Year 12s final year of school. It was an emotional celebration for many of the Year 12s and their families as they changed their ties and cravats and received their Senior badge. We wish them every success as they begin the culminating year of their schooling journey. A special thank you to Mrs Kimberley Challenor for her assistance with the event.
Opening School Mass
Our first school Mass will take place at All Saints’ Parish church on Tuesday, 11th February at 9am. We look forward to this celebration as we officially welcome all new staff to our school community. We are grateful for Fr Thomas Duncan, parish priest, who will preside over this celebration.
