A Rich History continued

In 1980 significant changes occurred at St John's with a tremendous growth spurt just around the corner. 1980 was the last year that St John's remained a one teacher school.

In 1982 a new classroom was built (complete with new toilet block) to accommodate the extra students (Picture 1)

By 1988, St John's had outgrown the space needed for all the adminstrative work and on 29th May 1988, a new Office block was opened.

Pic 1: 1982 saw a new classroom block opened which is now the Kinder Angels room.	Pic 2: Bicentennial celebrations showcasing the new Administration block.
1992 saw the entrance of the school take on a whole new look with much landscaping and tree planting done (often by the children) to help 'spruce' up the place.
In 1993, with an enrolment of 138 children, two more new classrooms were built. The staff consisted of 5 teachers and a non-teaching Principal for the first time in the school's history. Enrolments continued to grow until in 2000 we again needed to expand as we hit the magic "200" students enrolled. Two transportable classrooms were added to the existing buildings and the Administration block was further renovated to open up the reception area.
