It has been a dynamic and positive time at our St John's Campus, with students engaged in a variety of meaningful learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. The sense of energy, enthusiasm, and community spirit across the campus has been truly uplifting, and reflects the hard work and commitment of both staff and students.
A recent highlight has been the Year 7 Learning Mentor Soccer Tournament, which brought a buzz of excitement and friendly competition to the Year 7 cohort. The tournament provided students with the chance to bond with their Learner Mentor groups, build teamwork skills, and enjoy some physical activity in a supportive environment. Staff were equally involved, fostering stronger relationships with students while promoting active and healthy lifestyles. The matches were filled with good-natured rivalry, laughter, and encouragement, and it was wonderful to see so many students cheering each other on.
Our Year 9 Outdoor Education Camps have also proven to be a powerful bonding experience for our students. Over several days, students embraced the challenges of outdoor activities, including hiking, rope courses, and team-building tasks, all designed to develop resilience, independence, and collaboration. These camps play a crucial role in fostering personal growth, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Students returned with a renewed sense of confidence and a deeper appreciation for nature and teamwork.
In support of student wellbeing, we were fortunate to host the Proactive Policing Unit, who delivered valuable sessions on Cyber Safety to our Year 7 and 8 students. These presentations focused on the importance of making smart, respectful, and safe choices online. Topics included protecting personal information, responsible use of social media, and how to respond to inappropriate online behaviour. The sessions were engaging and practical, leaving students with a clear understanding of the responsibilities that come with digital citizenship.
Alongside these activities, the campus has embraced the Push-Up Challenge, a nationwide initiative raising awareness for mental health. Students and staff have been participating enthusiastically, logging push-ups and engaging in conversations about wellbeing. The initiative has added a positive energy to the school day and sparked important discussions around mental health and resilience.
Despite the busy calendar, our students have shown an excellent work ethic during the current exam period. Across all year levels, there has been a noticeable focus and maturity as students prepare and sit their assessments. Staff have been incredibly proud of the dedication shown and the thoughtful way students have approached their studies.
Overall, the atmosphere at St Johns Campus has been one of positivity, connection, and growth. It’s encouraging to see students thriving across so many areas—academically, socially, and emotionally. Whether it’s through sport, outdoor education, wellbeing initiatives, or academic achievement, students are embracing every opportunity with enthusiasm and determination.
We look forward to the rest of the term with confidence and optimism, knowing that students are continuing to grow into well-rounded, capable, and compassionate individuals.
