100 Years Celebration of St. John's Primary School.
|
St John's School began in 1920 with approximately 47 children on the roll. The students were taught inside the St John's Church building by the Sisters of Mercy. In 1932 a separate school building was erected facing Errard Street (now the Princes Highway). The school grew with various buildings being added over the years.
The Sisters of Mercy were in charge of the school until 1989 when responsibility was handed over to lay administration. In the mid-2000s a decision was made to move the school to a larger, more suitable site. A new school opened in 2011 at Russell Street. Our school is celebrating 100 Years of Education (across two sites) in 2020. DINNER An opportunity to get together with past and current school friends and families will occur on Saturday 21st March. Please book directly with the Dennington Bowls Club (phone number on flyer below). Current staff and organising committee will be attending and we look forward to seeing you there. MERCHANDISE The school history book, teatowels, bags and badges will be available for sale from lunchtime on Sunday 22nd March. Pavers can be ordered on the day for delivery and installation later this year. Eftpos will be available on the day. All prices are on the flyer below. |
A school history book titled "Our first 100 years" has been written and compiled by staff member Sharon Easley. The book follows the development of the school over the decades and includes hundreds of photographs.
Two tea towel designs are available. The first features portrait drawings of all students and staff from the 2019 and 2020 school years. The second features drawings of buildings from both the old and new schools and was developed by staff member Damien Webster.
A calico bag and a tote bag with blue straps and base both feature the school's 100 Years logo.
Commemorative pavers can be ordered on the day. The pavers form part of a landscaped area around the school flagpoles where the school community gather for special events. They are a great reminder of the contribution of previous families and staff.
