We asked our team “Why St Johns?” This is what they said…

Michael Bowmer
Principal
I have worked as a Principal across Australia and Asia in urban, rural and remote schools as well as large R-12 International schools. I love working with the staff, students and community here.

Sue Denholm
Foundation Teacher
I love to work in a Christian environment where students can grow in faith and their understanding of what Jesus did for us. I appreciate the opportunity to teach in a PYP school educating students to be global citizens and supporting them to develop respect for themselves, others and the world around them.

Renae Ruediger

What I love at St John’s is that it is a country, Christan school, which helps give it a lovely family feel. I like how the staff collaborate in their planning to improve students’ skills, knowledge and conceptual understanding.

Why St John’s?
It is a great privilege and joy to be able to work in an environment as caring and supportive as St John’s Lutheran School. I love sharing the knowledge of my first language and culture with the children. The PYP lets me collaborate with my teaching colleagues, to create learning experiences in German that are authentic, meaningful, and engaging for our diversity of learners.
