St John’s is a faith-filled community. Your interactions with our staff, students and community will demonstrate our love of Christ, neighbour and the environment.

The religious life of our school immerses students in the Catholic tradition and provides students with:

• opportunities to know, understand and celebrate our Catholic faith
• a thorough Religious Education curriculum
• celebrations of the sacraments
• social outreach activities and opportunities 
• experiences of a rich liturgical and prayer life

Our school has a strong connection to our parish of St John's Campbelltown, under the guidance of our parish priest, Fr John, and assistant priest, Fr Feleki. 

At St John’s, every student counts and every student matters. Our students engage in quality learning and teaching experiences, whereby they are challenged and encouraged at their own levels of proximal development. Teachers develop individualised learning plans to support the needs of identified students in their care. 

Students with a disability or additional needs, are supported with:

• engage in sporting opportunities at school, regional, diocesan and state levels
