High enrolments at St Johns

St John the Baptist Catholic School has made a number of improvements to the school grounds over the holidays following the highest enrolment numbers in over a decade.

New roofs were placed on to two of the school's learning blocks and new sport, archives and cleaning storage areas are almost complete.

A new chapel will also be built and the old converted into a classroom to accommodate the extra students.

"Added to this, our desire to improve and upgrade the school oval our school is well on the way to becoming a modern learning establishment for all," said principal Mr Frank Cohen.

"Over the break, Telstra rolled out a very fast optic fibre network for our digital learning and further purchases were made to our hardware allowing all students access to the latest 21st century learning tools," he said.
