HELLO FAMILIES,

My working hours at St John's are as follows:  

Monday - 8 am to 3.30 pm

Tuesday - 8 am to 3 pm 

Thursday - 8 am to 3 pm 

St Michaels:

Wednesday - 8.30 am to 3 pm

2025 has started busy as we prepare for ANZAC Ceremonies. We are excited to have you join us in these activities and look forward to your participation.

All students, including the defence students, have settled in very well. If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to call me. This successful transition should reassure you of our commitment to your child's well-being and academic progress. 

Cadet training started on Tuesday, and I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday for the Albatross Open Day. 

HMAS ALBATROSS OPEN DAY - THIS SATURDAY 1 MARCH 2025

HMAS Albatross is hosting an open day this weekend! Gates open on Saturday 1st March from 10:00am to 01:00pm.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to access the Airfield, meet the personnel of HMAS Albatross, enjoy flying and parachuting displays, federation guard displays, and music from the military band. There will also be stalls from other community groups, fun kids activities and a jumping castle. It is a free event for the public.

ST JOHN'S OPEN NIGHT - YEAR 7 2026

It was wonderful to welcome future families and students to the 2025 Open Night at St John's and seeing so many eager faces. Although 2026 seems a long way away I look forward to supporting all future Defence students next year.

ANZAC DAY CEREMONY

Our ANZAC Day Ceremony is on the 1st of May at 10 am 2025. All Defence Year 7 students will be in the hall, and all students whose parents attend are invited back to K block for light refreshments with their families.
