Our Dedicated Community of Parents
Parents are the heart of the SJS community. Our parent volunteers are invaluable in making SJS the strong community it is. Our parents actively volunteer as part of the Parent Association and as Class Parents.
Back to School BBQ
After a long summer break, it’s great to welcome everyone back with food and entertainment! This whole school event is a ‘must’ for students, parents, faculty and staff!
Used Uniform Sales
There are four sales throughout the year. These events are perfect for recycling gently worn uniform pieces or grabbing some much needed replacements, part way through the year when the kids have gone through a growth spurt!
Holiday Decorating
During celebrations and holidays, the PAE decorates our Junior and Senior Schools, filling the halls with the festive spirit. The decorating team is busy several times a year; Halloween, Christmas, Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day and SJS Day.
Lunar New Year
Each year, we host a Lunar New Year Assembly and celebratory Tea. Expect student performances, New Year treats and festive fun.
Grandparents Day
This annual event welcomes SJS Grandparents to the school for a special Assembly and Tea. Our PAE is instrumental in making sure we have enough volunteers on hand to help run the event smoothly.
Book Swap
Our PAE works with our Junior School Librarian and Grade 2 students to bring this hugely valuable event to life. It unites our community and celebrates the “use and re-use” message that we want our students to embody.
Family Fun Night
As springtime comes, so does Friday Fun Night. The whole school is bustling with fun, games, pizza and refreshments!
Spirit Wear
The PAE produce and sell a number of school spirit items, including hoodies, t-shirts and hair accessories. You can discover more on their dedicated shop site.
Staff Appreciation Event
To thank our wonderful teachers and staff for the incredible and necessary work they do to support, educate and nurture our children everyday, the PAE organizes a staff appreciation event.
Volunteer Wall
Many of the events and activities that enrich life at SJS are possible only because of the commitment and generosity of our parent and guardian volunteers. Visit our Volunteer Wall to learn more:
