Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have to be of the Catholic Faith?
No, we accept all families, we only ask that you support us in our teaching of the Catholic Faith.
Are the school fees expensive?
We have school fees but they are much less than sending your child to childcare/preschool. We offer fee relief, and no family will be refused a place in our school for financial reasons.
How are playground issues handled?
At SJB we believe an individual’s wellbeing is fundamental to them reaching their potential. The Zones of Regulation is used across the school to help students consciously identify and regulate their emotions, which can lead to increased control and problem-solving skills. We ensure on the playground and in the classroom that your child is physically safe, cared for and nurtured.
