Oversight
Management
St John's Preschool has been part of the Ashfield Community for more than 70 years. The local community is important to us and parental participation is valued highly in our school.
The preschool is under the management of a management committee made up of 4 parent and 5 parish representatives from St John's Church, Ashfield.
All parents with children in the preschool are eligible for membership on the committee as one of the parent representatives. Parents are also encouraged to attend the annual general meeting held at the end of term 1 each year.
Although the management committee oversee the operation of the preschool, the day to day running of the preschool is the responsibility of the director and the staff.
Philosophy
St John’s Preschool Ashfield is a Community based, Christian early learning environment which exists in a diverse community.
We aim to give our children a clear and respectful understanding of all cultures including that of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our Preschool is located on land whose traditional owners were the Cadigal and Wangal people and we acknowledge and give respect to these original custodians.
The Preschool is run under the auspices of the St John’s Anglican Church who had the foresight to establish an early learning environment for children over 70 years ago and who continue through their role on the Management Committee to provide excellent support and direction.
Our Preschool philosophy can be found in the resources section of this website.
