St Johns College Dubbo Term 4, Week 10 2024
Principal
Dear St Johns Community
As the school year has drawn to a close I would like to wish all of our families a safe, happy and holy Christmas. I pray that you have the opportunity to fully recharge and enjoy the company of those dearest to you over the summer holidays.
One of the sadder parts of this time of year is saying goodbye to staff that are leaving. This year we say goodbye to some staff that have made great contributions to the College and we wish them the best in their travels and new endeavours. On the other side to that sadness is the excitement of being able to welcome some new and some returning staff to the College.
