Following an offer being made to you for your child’s place in prep, we will arrange a time for yourself and your child to meet with our Principal,  Frank Vetrone and Deputy Principals, Emma Canning and Fiona Maelasi. This is an informal opportunity for us to get to you more about your child and address any questions you may have.

To support a smooth transition St John XXIII visit feeder kinders. Staff have the opportunity to chat with our new preps in a setting that they are familiar and comfortable in, as well as receive handover of relevant information from kinder teachers.

Our transition program ensures that children and their families are familiar with our school routines, facilities and staff. Transition commences with an online information session for parents to address important aspects of daily school life. Children are then provided with four onsite orientation sessions to build their confidence and familiarisation with their new teachers, classmates and classrooms. While the students attend their sessions, our school leaders encourage parents to join us in the school hall to participate in carefully planned sessions to find out more about supporting your child in a smooth transition to school, while getting to know other parents from your child’s Prep group.

At St John XXIII we ensure that learners are engaged, challenged and have fun! We ensure we build a welcoming and safe environment where children want to learn and grow. The learning journey your child will embark on at St John XXIII will set the foundations for their lifelong learning and success. We cannot wait to partner with you and your child on this exciting journey.
