Message from the Principal

Welcome to St John the Evangelist Catholic High School.

At St John's, we believe that a Catholic school is far more than its buildings, grounds, or facilities. While we are proud of the spaces where quality learning takes place, it is the spirit within—the relationships, the values, and the shared faith—that truly defines who we are. A Catholic school provides a quality Catholic educational experience for the whole person, one that is centred on the values of the Gospel that Jesus Christ made known to us and supports our young people to realise their true potential.

Our mission is to create a dynamic educational environment within a caring, involved community, grounded in the Catholic ethos. We value peace and pursue excellence in all that we do. This mission is not just words—it is lived daily through our commitment to Peaceful Relationships and Excellence in Learning Growth, one that is shared with staff, students and families alike. These pillars guide our students to grow not only in knowledge, but in character, compassion, and faith.

As we look to the future, we are constantly reflecting on who we are and what we do in order to truly live out our vision: to be known as a compassionate and just educational community, one that nurtures the whole person and responds to the unique needs of the Shoalhaven and surrounding regions. Rooted in Catholic teachings and traditions, we aim to be a place where every student is known, valued, and supported on their journey.

Whether you are a current member of our community or exploring the possibility of joining us, I warmly invite you to discover the heart of St John's—a school where faith and learning walk hand in hand. As always, if there is something that you can not find on our website, please do not hesitate to contact our office who will gladly assist you.
