Shine Your Light Art Exhibition

As part of our Catholic Education Week celebrations, students were invited to showcase their creativity and talents at our ‘Shine Your Light Art Exhibition’.

Each artwork reflected the unique gifts, imagination, and spirit of our students, bringing this year's theme to life in a meaningful way. Thank you to our students for sharing their talents, and our families for supporting this special event.

We are incredibly proud of the way our students continue to let their light shine through their faith, learning, and creativity.

One of the highlights of Catholic Education Week was our cherished Lunch on the Lawn, where our school community came together as one family to share a meal, enjoy conversations, and spend time with those who inspire and support us every day.

Thank you to our staff, students, parents, grandparents, family members, and friends for joining us and helping create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This special tradition, held close to our hearts, celebrates the strong connections, sense of belonging, and community spirit that make our school so special.

This morning, our school community gathered to celebrate Catholic Education Week through prayer, singing, and a special liturgy. Together, we reflected on this year's theme and gave thanks for the many people who shine the light of Christ in our lives.

We extend our gratitude to Fr Andrew for leading our beautiful liturgy. Through his service, guidance and care, he continues to be a beacon of light, inspiring not only our school community but the wider region.

During the liturgy, we particularly shone the light on the emergency service personnel, healthcare workers, carers, and volunteers across our region. Their dedication, compassion, and selfless service inspire us each day. Through the care they provide, the comfort they offer, and the support they give to those in need, they truly embody the light of Christ and remind us of the power of kindness, hope and service to others.

A valued colleague, mentor, and teacher, he generously shares his knowledge, brings people together, and fosters a strong sense of belonging. Through his care, faith, and dedication, he helps students thrive both academically and personally.

Andrew's deep commitment to teaching excellence shines through his actions, storytelling, and guidance of both staff and students. His lasting impact on St John's will be felt for many years to come, and his legacy of faith, dignity, and respect will continue to inspire our community.

There will always be stories that begin with, "Remember when Mr Perrett..."
