St John’s Catholic Primary School

St John’s is a Catholic Primary school with classes from Foundation to Year 6. Our school was established in 1967 with the motto – ‘Love Is Life’. The staff at St John’s work in partnership with our parents to nurture each child’s development in a safe and friendly environment where a love of learning is fostered. 

Like all schools, we have a strong commitment to Child Safety and our Student-led Child-Safe Team act in the best interests of all students.

Our school is located adjacent to St John the Evangelist Church. The church was established and blessed by Archbishop Little on 6th June, 1981 and was consecrated in honour of Pope (now Saint) John XXIII. The design and stained glass windows of the church created by artist William Gleeson still impresses all visitors – a hidden gem of Frankston East. The Church Hall was converted into learning spaces and finally the school library before its demolition.

St John’s Primary School is a wonderful family community, where our children are supported and encouraged by a team of committed staff and parents. Co-operation, respect and shared responsibility are values fostered throughout our school.

As a Catholic school, we are committed to a holistic education that relates the Gospel messages of Christ to our current world context for our students. We work in unison with Parish leaders and parents to promote values and ideas that are central to our Christian beliefs.
