School Board

The St John’s School Board is a school community body which supports the Principal.  Responsibilities include:

  • the ongoing development of the Catholic ethos of the school
  • being consulted in relation to the appointment of a principal
  • supporting staff, especially the principal, who will have the day to day responsibility for maintaining and promoting the Catholic ethos of the school
  • overseeing the prudent financial management of the school, particularly with a view to ensuring access to quality education for future generations, and including planning for the provision of future facilities
  • providing advice to the principal on any matters referred to it by the principal
  • developing policies on matters referred to it by the principal

Elections for Board members are normally held in October/November of each year and the opportunity for participation in a Community Education Program is offered to all interested persons prior to that meeting.

Members of the Board consist of Diocesan staff, School staff and Parent members.

Parents’ & Friends’ Association

​Our P&F is an integral part of our school and provides a formal structure for parents and others interested in the welfare of our students, to plan and organise activities for the benefit of the school. In particular, our Parents’ & Friends’ Associations participates in our school by:

  • providing a medium of support, information and involvement of parents/carers in their children’s education and the school community
  • developing collaboration between parents/carers and school staff
  • promoting the principles and ethos of Catholic Education
  • fostering a distinctive Christian environment in the school
  • providing a medium for parents/carers to participate at Diocesan, State and National levels

While other groups are active within the life of our school, it is the Parents & Friends Association which represents the interests of the whole parent body at our school.

Our Parents’ and Friends’ meetings are friendly, social and of no longer than one hour. They are informative, and a great means for parents to learn more about the school, and to be involved in shaping our future.
