As a school community, through our words and actions, we strive to give witness to the defining features of a Catholic School:

Have a clear Catholic identity

Be open and accessible to all who seek our values

Offer a relevant and holistic curriculum of quality teaching and learning

Be a community of care

Develop inclusive partnerships within a community of faith

St John the Baptist School is a Catholic Primary School where everything we do reflects Gospel values. As adults, staff and parents included, we need to model the Gospel values for the young people within our community and invite all to live these values.

Our school has thrived under the guidance of the Marist Sisters initially and the Marist priests, who played a major role in our school’s spiritual life and their influence continues today.  Characteristics of our patron saint, St John the Baptist are reflected in the statements “Preparing the Way” and “True Before God, True Before All.” Our school strives to prepare our students for the life ahead of them spiritually, academically and socially, just as St John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus.
