Welcome to St John's Primary School

CLIFTON HILL

I warmly welcome you to St John’s Primary School, Clifton Hill, our hidden gem in the heart of inner city Melbourne.

At St John’s we understand that in a post-COVID setting, you will be looking for something different when choosing a school for your child. We encourage you to visit us at St John’s.

Everything we do aims to create a school environment that is a place of genuine connection and belonging. We keep our classes deliberately small so that every one of our students has endless opportunities to share, to be a leader, to be heard, to learn in their own way, to know everyone in our school and to be known.

At St John’s we provide a contemporary catholic education in a nurturing, warm and supportive environment where all of our students can thrive.

We personalise learning to cater to the learning and social and emotional needs of every student. The explicit teaching of social and emotional skills is a key component of each school day, helping our students to understand themselves as members of our school and wider community, and to develop a strong sense of their own identity.

We authentically welcome and celebrate our diversity; our diversity of cultures, of faiths and of learning needs.

I would love the opportunity to show you our school.

A Word from Our Students

"I love St John’s because everyone is so kind and caring. I love that everyone knows my name and all the teachers say good morning at the gate. I enjoy going to school everyday because I know people will look after me."
