FOUNDATION DAY

This Friday we celebrate our Foundation day, a very special day for our school community.

Our Foundation Day is celebrated on the feast of Pentecost. This is the day that the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles and sent them to take the Good News to all. It is the Holy Spirit who ‘reveals God’. To this end our young people at St John’s do the most wonderful work in revealing God in their care and actions for those less fortunate and our world.

St John the Evangelist Catholic High school is the realisation of the dream and hard work of the Nowra catholic parish of St Michael’s. Parishioners raised the funds for the school with lamington drives and chook raffles. They would be very proud today as they look not only at what a wonderful school they established but how their active engagement is so evident in the students of St John’s even more so today. They are active and informed citizens who give their time to raise awareness and funds for organisations and issues such St Vincent de Paul (Vinnies Youth), the environment (JAG), equality for all (PAX), and Youth ministry to name a few.

We celebrate a whole school mass together on this day, enjoy a ‘country fair’ organised by everyone and then watch many students and staff showcase their talents.

YEAR 12 RETREAT

Congratulations to the students and staff who engaged in the Year 12 retreat. The atmosphere at Waterslea was very special with a great sense of celebration and cohesion. They engaged so fully in all the activities and shared in a very prayerful manner in the spiritual experiences. I had the most wonderful evening with these young people and commend them on the commitment they show to enabling everyone to feel valued. They will certainly make a difference with what they have to offer both at school and beyond.
