What is the SJRPA?
The St. John’s-Ravenscourt Parents’ Association (SJRPA) is a vibrant and dedicated organization committed to making lasting contributions for the benefit of the School.
The SJRPA organizes a wide variety of activities that help parents and guardians get to know each other, as well as events for students that provide interaction with the broader community. It also provides meaningful short-term and ongoing volunteer opportunities and raises funds to help meet various School priorities.
All current SJR parents and guardians automatically become members of this active volunteer community and are welcome to attend SJRPA meetings. You are encouraged to get involved to make the most of your SJR experience. Even if you can't make our meetings, you can still show your support by volunteering at SJRPA events and activities. There are daytime, evening and weekend volunteering opportunities to suit everyone!
The SJRPA is a member of the Manitoba Association of Parent Councils.

SJR is proud to be accredited and affiliated with several local, national and international educational organizations.
St. John’s-Ravenscourt School was founded in 1820 principally to serve the children of the Selkirk settlers. By 1834 there were forty students, evenly split between boys and girls. SJR has inevitably grown and changed over the years since, though its success throughout has been unimpeachable. We have graduated 18 Rhodes scholars, for example, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II granted patronage and established a scholarship in her name in 1981. Today the programs are as strong as our reputation. A strong academic program is paired with an equally strong attention to the values of stewardship, ethical leadership, and excellence in all areas of academic, social and athletic life.
