The Year 7 St. John’s students have well and truly embarked on their secondary school journey. In Term 2, students have been working towards further developing their personal and social capabilities as they learn to understand themselves and others, and manage their relationships, lives, and learning more effectively.

Within the LM program, students have been focusing on recognising and regulating their emotions, developing empathy for others, understanding and establishing relationships, making responsible decisions, working effectively in teams, handling challenging situations constructively and developing their leaderships skills.

Some of the events the Year 7 students have participated in this term include, but are not limited to,

• Enthusiastically and proudly representing CCCC at interschool sports
• Speaking to Maxine Beneba Clarke
• Participating in a scavenger hunt at Skinner Reserve for P.E.
• Participating in an observational walk around their suburb focusing on the factors that influence where people live for Humanities.
• Attending their first Mother’s Day Mass

Our Year 8 students have also begun Term 2 with gusto and enthusiasm and should be commended for their commitment and hard work in the classroom. Here are some of the Year 8 highlights.

• Participating in the LM competition by creating Logos to represent their LM classes
• Continuing to build relationships with each other in the classrooms and school yard
• Improvement in progress reports
• Socially being upstanders instead of bystanders without any teacher or staff assistance.

The Year 9 students have also been busy this term and are really taking advantage of using their time wisely inside and outside of the classroom. Here are some of the highlights from Year 9.

• Successful reflection day at Rosamond Bowls Club
• College Ambassador support at subject conferences and open day
• SJ Campus Captains visiting Year 7 and 8 classes to support and answer any exam related questions.
• Year 9 LM competition on teamwork and decision-making playing ‘cross the river’ on the grassed area. Congrats to 9C for winning!
