As we reach the end of Term 3, it is a wonderful time to reflect on the many achievements and positive developments across the St John’s Campus.

This term, our community came together to recognise R U OK? Day, a timely reminder of the importance of looking out for one another and checking in with our peers. The day encouraged honest conversations and reinforced the message that a simple question can make a big difference.

We also celebrated Languages Week, where students engaged in activities that highlighted the richness of different cultures and the importance of language in connecting us with the wider world. It was inspiring to see so many boys embrace the chance to broaden their understanding and appreciation of diversity.

On the sporting front, our Year 9 boys shone at the SACCAS competitions, taking home victories in both AFL and Volleyball. Their teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship were excellent examples of the values we aim to uphold at St John’s.

In the classroom, staff have been impressed with how students are continuing to work diligently towards their academic and personal goals. Many boys are becoming more organised and prepared for classes, showing maturity and responsibility as they progress through their studies. These habits will serve them well not only in school, but also in life beyond the college.

As we celebrate these successes, we also encourage all students to remember the small but important habits that build respect and kindness in our community. Using words such as “please” and “thank you” more often makes a real difference in creating a positive and supportive atmosphere across our campus.

We wish all families a safe and restful break and look forward to another successful term ahead.
