Parish Education Board
The St John's Parish School Education Board is a parent group who works collaboratively with the Parish Priest and School Principal. The Board provides insight, advice and feedback that helps guide current operations and future planning.
The Parish School Education Board is a strong a link between the Parish Priest, Principal, staff, parents, and parishioners in relation to the provision of Catholic education in the Catholic community. The Parish School Education Board promotes community development by fostering a strong interrelationship between the Parish and Primary school, and secondary colleges and pre-schools.
