Welcoming Our New Parents
On Saturday evening the 18th February, the Year 1 parents hosted an Indian themed dinner welcoming new parents to the St John the Baptist Catholic School community. This was a great night of connection for our parent community. A huge thank you is extended to Neeta and Alan Saldanha for their commitment in coordinating the night, to the team of Year 1 parents who ably assisted in the lead up to and on the night and to the Dachepalli family (British India Restaurant) for supplying the beautiful food.
Welcome to the 2023 School Year
On Monday 30th January we welcomed 350 children to St John the Baptist Catholic School, of which 47 were new students. We look forward to a wonderful year of learning, connection and growing as a community.
Future Development
We are excited to announce that the next stage of the School Master Plan has commenced. Two properties and the acquisition of a third, on Anzac Highway will be developed over the coming months to provide the children with additional play space and our families with increased parking facilities. The sketch above provides a general idea of the proposed plans.

Canteen - From Garden to Plate
Our school canteen is an integral part of St John the Baptist Catholic School and allows for students, staff and volunteers (all essential ingredients) to work together to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh seasonal food.
The school canteen operates each day of the school week, with families able to choose and order from a variety of menu items via a school app.
Stretch Project
We are excited to be participating in the Stretch Project in 2022/23. The project will be led by Dr Rebecca Napier, Gifted Education Advisor at Catholic Education SA, along with a team of both internal Catholic Education SA advisors and external experts in Gifted Education. The project will enable teachers at St John the Baptist School to design programs that are optimal for gifted learners. We look forward to sharing further information once the project commences.

We have embarked in a significant building project in 2021 that is due for completion in November of this year.
