What's On - Term 2 2024

Principal's Message

Dear Families,

It is hard to believe that Term 1 is over, and we are preparing for Term 2! It has been an absolute pleasure working with the whole Mt St John's community, and I cannot wait to see what the rest of this year will bring. 

This What's On is designed to help you plan ahead for Term 2. Please be aware that changes may (and probably will) happen. We will continue to keep you updated via Compass.

Administrative Changes for Term 2

Staffing

This Term, I am thrilled to welcome Uncle Allen Phillips to our school as our Aboriginal Education Worker. Uncle Al is well-known in Dorrigo and will work with us two days per week to help us meet the needs of our students and build stronger connections between our school and the local community. 

Rachel Bennett Young will also continue to work each Friday at Mt St John's, primarily in Stage 3.

Sport - Fridays in Term 2

In Weeks 1 - 8 of Term 2, Mr Ben Hazlett will teach each class tennis. Ben is a fantastic tennis player with a variety of skills and a passion for this sport that will undoubtedly inspire our students. All equipment will be provided, and sessions will be held at the tennis courts. A timetable outlining session times will be shared early in Term 2.

As always, please call or email me with any questions or concerns.

Deborah Bailey

Principal
