Our Academic Program

Our programs encourage a lifelong love of learning and are informed by the very best research, data, and resources.

St John’s well reputed early learning practice fosters independent thinkers across all year levels, nurturing lifelong learners and empowering students to take greater responsibility for their development through student initiated and inquiry based projects. Equal emphasis is placed on explicit teaching and gradual release of responsibility, providing students with a balanced and integrated approach to learning.

Additional programs for students timetabled across the week include music, sport, art, Italian, enrichment and learning support. Our art, music and sporting endeavours frequently achieve accolades or awards at Interschool events.

The School Improvement Plan along with Professional Learning Community gatherings ensure an ongoing emphasis is placed on continued literacy and numeracy development within the school.

Performance Data Information

The information below is provided to display the performance of our students in an Australian wide literacy and numeracy testing process titled NAPLAN. Basic information on teacher qualifications, staff composition and the attendance regularity of students is also provided, all of which is mandated by the Australian Government.

Many of the beneficial aspects of how and what children learn here at St John’s are not readily measurable but are none the less invaluable. As a school community, we are concerned with the development of the whole person and work towards enhancing the spiritual, social and emotional skills, cognitive and physical skills and an appreciation of the arts.

We are continuously striving to improve children’s learning and enhance teacher instruction. This means working towards developing higher quality teaching skills and promoting more effective learning strategies.
