What it means to lead…
As a community, we gathered on Tuesday for our 2025 Commissioning Ceremony where we celebrated our new leaders; the 2025 Student Representative Council, Youth Ministry Leaders, House Captains, Vice Captains and School Captains. We celebrated and acknowledged their ability to use their talents and gifts to make St John’s a better place and to embody what it means to be a leader within a Catholic School, a leader in our school.
When reflecting on the teachings of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, specifically, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus redefines exactly what it means to be blessed, revealing the true qualities of a leader in God’s eyes. Jesus reminds us, through his actions, that true leadership is grounded in humility, gentleness, and service to others. A leader in our school isn't just someone who takes charge or gives instructions. It isn’t someone who undertakes the role for the glory or accolades. Leaders in our school serve with love and compassion in hopes of making the lives of others better.
"Happy are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth." A true leader is not harsh or domineering but rather leads with kindness and respect for others, for when they lead with gentleness, they create a community where everyone feels valued. Where everyone is seen, and where everyone has a voice and is heard.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus also speaks of the importance of mercy and being peacemakers within our communities. "Happy are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." Leaders in our school seek to listen and understand before responding in haste or with judgment. "Happy are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." A true leader brings people together, finding ways to build unity and harmony, even when it’s difficult, even when it may go against popular opinion. Leaders in our school dare to be different, they dare to act with justice.
However, I want to make one thing very clear, the students who were chosen by their peers and teachers to be leaders in 2025 did not become leaders overnight. They did not suddenly become leaders by simply placing a badge on their lapels or reciting an oath on a piece of paper. No, they are leaders as they made specific choices along their life’s journey to act in service of others. At Thursday’s assembly, I issued this challenge to all students, whether they are in year 7 or 12, whether they have a badge or not. All students within our community have the ability to be leaders, to behave and act in a way that reflects our school values and, most importantly, to use their unique gifts and talents to make a difference to those around them.
It was wonderful that so many families were able to attend the commissioning ceremony for St John's 2025 school leaders in support of their students, you should all be very proud of your young people.

STUDENT MOBILE TECHNOLOGY AND WEARABLE DEVICE USE AT ST JOHN'S
Often, we have students that question the approach to mobile and wearable technologies here at St John’s. To support both our students and you as their parents, I would like to clarify the approach we use here at school is to educate the appropriate use of devices and when it is appropriate for its use. Students are not permitted to use their mobile or wearable devices while at school after the morning bell at 8:30am until after the final bell at 2:55pm. There are some exceptions, these are at the discretion of the classroom teacher, examples may include senior study as a tool to block out distracting noise/chatter or using a light intensity or noise level app in science lessons. The key difference here is teacher direction where permission is always sought by the student, rather than student preference because they presume a personal benefit. At St John’s we are noticing a few problematic trends emerging in our student population, mobile phone cloned or mirrored to their laptop, use of spotify app so that earbuds are in students ears continually until challenged (you may notice this at home also). It is an expectation that students do not make phone calls or the messaging app during the school day, instead use the school processes to communicate through the school admin office, ensuring that pastoral supports can utilised.
I have provided a summary of a NSW state government funded review into the non-educational use of mobile technology (link to this online review), with a particular focus on non-directed listening to music in the classroom and/or during lunch and recess breaks.
Why High School Students Should Not Listen to Music in Class (with Expert Opinions)
While many students claim that listening to music helps them concentrate during class, the negative impacts on focus, classroom dynamics, and social interactions are far-reaching. In addition to these concerns, leading youth psychologists, such as Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg, warn about the broader psychological and developmental effects of allowing students to listen to music in class. Here are key reasons why high school students should not be permitted to do so, supported by expert insights.
1. Music Divides Attention and Reduces Academic Focus
Listening to music during class divides students' attention, reducing their ability to fully engage with academic material. Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg, a renowned Australian adolescent psychologist, emphasizes that the brain is not designed to multitask effectively, especially in a learning environment. According to Carr-Gregg, “students are fooling themselves if they think they can learn properly while listening to music,” as music processing competes for cognitive resources that are needed to absorb and understand complex information. This divided focus can lead to misunderstandings, missed instructions, and ultimately poorer academic performance.
2. Negative Impact on Peer Interaction and Classroom Engagement
A classroom is a social learning environment where students are expected to engage with peers and teachers. Carr-Gregg highlights that listening to music can isolate students from their surroundings, reducing their ability to connect with others. Youth development heavily relies on communication and collaboration, and when students are plugged into their music, they disengage from these critical interactions. “High school is not just about academic learning, but also about developing social and emotional skills,” says Carr-Gregg. Constant use of music in class hinders this growth, limiting opportunities for teamwork and meaningful peer conversations.
3. Encourages Technology Misuse
Allowing students to listen to music opens the door for the misuse of technology. Many students admit to using their mobile devices not just for music but for activities such as texting, social media, and gaming during class. Carr-Gregg has repeatedly voiced concerns about the increasing dependency on smartphones among young people, stating that it negatively impacts their ability to concentrate and develop healthy study habits. "Students are so tethered to their phones that they struggle to focus without them," Carr-Gregg explains. This dependence on technology often results in a lack of attention to schoolwork and greater classroom disruptions.
4. Stifles Emotional and Mental Development
Dr. Carr-Gregg also warns about the long-term impact of constant stimulation from technology, including music, on the mental health of adolescents. He explains that students who use music as a crutch to deal with boredom or stressful situations are not learning critical coping mechanisms. Instead of developing resilience and self-discipline, they rely on external stimuli to manage their emotions. "Resilience comes from learning to cope without constant distractions," Carr-Gregg notes, adding that high school students need to develop mental toughness and emotional regulation, skills that are crucial for adulthood. Listening to music during challenging or "boring" lessons may prevent them from acquiring these important life skills.
5. Detracts from Physical and Social Well-being
In addition to its impact on learning, excessive use of music and smartphones during breaks or recess also limits physical and social activities. Carr-Gregg argues that adolescence is a time when social connections and physical activity are essential for healthy development. Students who retreat to their phones and music during breaks may miss out on important face-to-face interactions and opportunities for exercise, which can affect both their mental and physical well-being. "These are critical years for building social skills and maintaining a healthy lifestyle," Carr-Gregg emphasizes, underscoring the need for students to engage with their peers rather than isolating themselves through devices.
6. The False Sense of Productivity
While students often argue that music helps them focus, Carr-Gregg points to research showing that the so-called “music effect” is often a placebo. According to him, “students may feel like they’re more productive, but in reality, music, especially music with lyrics, can reduce their ability to concentrate on tasks requiring deep thought.” This false sense of productivity may lead students to believe they are performing better academically than they actually are, hindering their motivation to improve study habits or engage fully in the class.
In conclusion, while some students with specific needs, may benefit from listening to music to focus in specific circumstances, experts like Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg caution against generalizing these benefits for the entire classroom. The detrimental effects on focus, social skills, emotional development, and the increased risk of technology misuse far outweigh the perceived advantages. High school is a formative time, and it is critical that students cultivate healthy habits that prioritize engagement, resilience, and real-world interactions over distractions like music.

Mrs E Gray
As we enter the final term of Year 7, I’m so proud of how far our students have come. This is a crucial time to maintain the high standards we’ve set, particularly around organisation. It is expected that all students arrive at each lesson with their diaries, laptops, and pencil cases (fully equipped - some have been a bit empty lately!). We’ve been having discussions in morning PALS to reinforce these habits, and your support at home would be greatly appreciated. Please remind your child of the importance of being organised and ready for learning.
Additionally, we ask for your help in maintaining uniform and behaviour standards. These expectations ensure that students continue to present themselves well and contribute positively to the school community.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2025 SRC!
A big congratulations to our newly elected SRC representatives for 2025! These students were selected by their peers, a true honour. I am looking forward to working closely with this talented group on projects and events that will enhance our year group and the broader school community.
UPCOMING EVENTS
YEAR 7 REFLECTION DAY
Later this term, students will take part in the Year 7 Reflection Day. This day provides an opportunity for the year group to connect and reflect on their spirituality. It’s always an engaging and meaningful day, and participation is compulsory. More details will be provided soon.
YEAR 7 TALENT SHOW
In Week 6, we’ll be hosting the Year 7 Talent Show! This will be a great chance for our creative students to showcase their talents. We’ve had plenty of nominations, and I’m excited to see the performances — perhaps some teachers will even join in!
LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT YEAR:
Looking ahead to next year, PALS classes will stay the same to maintain the strong relationships and support that students have developed with their teachers. However, other classes will be reshuffled. Class placements are carefully considered, taking into account academic performance, behaviour, wellbeing, and each student’s goals. We take great care in ensuring each student is placed where they can thrive.
WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
Lastly, I would like to sincerely thank all Year 7 families for your ongoing support throughout this year. It has been a true joy to work alongside you and get to know the incredible students in this year group! If you have any concerns as we move into the final term, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the relevant teacher or coordinator for that subject or area. If you’re ever unsure of who to contact, your child's PALS Teacher is always a great place to start. We are here to help.

MPOWER ME DAY
At the end of Term 3, all students were involved in the Year 8 MPower Me Day’s.
The events included special guest speakers from Enlighten Education. The Year cohort was divided into girls and boys groups to participate in the activities over the 2 days.
The girls were very blessed to have the Enlighten Education CEO and OAM Dannielle Miller present. Danni led the girls through workshops around journaling, friendship and body image.
The boys welcomed Jack Ellis to present the 'Goodfellas' workshop. Jack, an actor, speaker and teacher went through a series of activities covering the topics of stereotypes, myths and leadership. We are very grateful to both Dannielle and Jack for the time and wisdom they shared with us and look forward to seeing them back at St John's again soon.
Students also visited Nowra Showground and engaged in a range of practical activities to build upon their confidence, teamwork and resilience. We had the awesome opportunity to abseil and rock climb in a beautiful spot nearby Ben’s Walk and the Shoalhaven River. Groups also embarked on a peaceful bush walk through nature, appreciating the incredible surroundings of our local region and engaged in a range of team building and initiative games.
Thank you to all teachers and students who were involved in the events on both days, particularly to the following staff members for running activities at the Showground:
Mr Higgins, Mr Holden, Mr Kyriacou, Mr Wilson, Ms Ross, Ms Fulop, Mr Carraro, Mr Fuller and Mr Stephenson.
Congratulations to our newly appointed SRC members for Year 9 2025! Acknowledgement and thank you goes to our current Year 8 SRC members, who have represented our year group to a very high standard throughout the year. Last week, both the current and incoming SRC members of Year 8/9 met to discuss some important topics and actions required. This included conversations around placement of new benches to be put in our playground and also feedback on activity choices for the Year 9 Camp next year.

UNIFORM
With Term 4 now into full swing, students are expected to be in their summer uniform. An important reminder that students are to only wear their sports uniform on the days they have either sport (every Wednesday for all of Year 8), or PDHPE practical. All students should have in their diaries the days they have prac/theory for PDHPE, however parents/carers can check in with their child’s PDHPE or PALS teacher to confirm this.
On days without sport or PDHPE practicals, students must wear their full summer uniform. Please note that students will be placed on lunchtime withdrawal if they are not in the correct uniform and do not have a valid reason accompanied by a signed note from their parent or carer.
As many Year 8 students have experienced growth spurts this year, it’s important to pay attention to uniform fit. Specifically, girls' skirts should sit just above the knee, and sports shorts must be loose-fitting and mid-thigh in length. Thank you for your attention to these details.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS
MILEY WINCHESTER - AUSTRALIAN INTERSCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2024
Congratulations to Miley Winchester for her recent involvement at the Interschools Equestrian Nations in Tamworth. Thank you to Miley for sharing her experience, which can be read below:
One month ago, I went to the Marcus Oldham Australian Interschools Championships 2024. I spent a week up there. The first 2 days I didn't ride and the 3rd day was a training day just to keep my horse fit. I did a little bit of jumping with the coach. On the 4th day, I competed in the 90cm and the 1m I placed 5th in the 90cm and 5th in the 1m. On day 5, I competed in the 90cm and the 1m however did not place. On the 6th day I competed in the 90cm and the 1m again and I got 2nd in the 90cm and nothing in the 1m. The final day was the closing ceremony and I came 4th overall in the 90cm and 12th in the 1m. This was one of the biggest competitions I have ever been to and the furthest to travel.

SHOAL BUS - OZTAG AT SHOALHAVEN HEADS
On Thursday the 24th of October there were an exponential number of students catching the school buses to Shoalhaven Heads to play Oztag that do not normally use this Bus Service. Due to this increase it was necessary to put on another bus to accommodate the extra students.
Shoal Bus does want to accommodate and encourage students to catch the bus for after school activities.
Shoal Bus would like to inform the parents that if they wish their child to catch a bus other than their normal school bus, they are required to have the $2.50 fare.
If the students are catching a school bus to Shoalhaven Heads they need to either show a School bus pass that is valid for Shoalhaven Heads or have the $2.50 fare otherwise they will not be able to travel on the bus and will be left at the school.

The Changing Nature Of Careers
Careers look different to how they used to – once upon a time you picked uni, a trade, or a job, and that was pretty much it for the rest of your working life. Now, tradies get degrees in management, professionals take short courses to round out their qualifications, and around 39% of students work and study at the same time.
Apprenticeships and traineeships are great because you generally don’t need a lot of skills or knowledge when you start, and you’ll get quality on-the-job training as well as classroom based training. Plus, you’ll be earning an income all along the way.
Skilling Australia Foundation found in 2019 that VET graduates had:
- Higher starting salaries – $56k vs $54k for uni grads
- A higher rate of employment – 78% vs 68% for uni grads
- Apprentices had a graduate employment rate of 92%
What’s the difference between an apprenticeship and traineeship?
The main difference is usually the industry – apprenticeships tend to be for more technical trades, while trainees might learn business skills or job-specific skills they need before they can be fully employed. Traineeships are also generally shorter than apprenticeships.
Finding a traineeship or apprenticeship can be a great choice – here’s why:
- You’ll enjoy satisfying and practical work, and in many trades you’ll avoid being stuck behind a desk.
- Get paid while you learn, and start living in the ‘real world’ sooner.
- You’ll probably have a job before you finish, and if you do move employers, you’ll have recognisable skills that make you more employable.
- You generally don’t need great marks to get started.
There are also usually a range of incentives for businesses to take on trainees and apprentices, which means more are available and there will be lots of support to make sure you finish your training.
How do I get started?
First, put together a resume (also known as a list of good stuff you’ve done). Include everything, and get it checked by someone who loves you (they’ll point out the good things you’ve missed) and someone who’s good with writing, like a teacher or family member
Finally, start job searching. You need to go and find them. But it doesn’t have to be difficult – there are heaps of apprenticeships and traineeships in just about every area, including regional and remote places.
Here’s how to search for an apprenticeship or traineeship
Let people know you’re looking. Tell your teachers, friends, or parents (and their friends). Word of mouth is still a great way to get a job.
Search job sites. Simply googling apprenticeships or traineeships in your area will give you a good start. You might also like to try searching popular job sites like SEEK or Indeed.
Look at government websites. Most countries usually have a government website built especially for apprentices and trainees to look for opportunities, including support options and other handy info. Here are some government sites you might like to browse:
- Australian Apprentices
- New Zealand Apprenticeships
- Apprenticeships UK
- Apprenticeship USA
- Job Bank Canada
Find out more
So, if you’d like to earn a good wage, enjoy a secure and rewarding job, and earn while you learn, getting an apprenticeship or traineeship could be the right option for you. And we can guarantee it’ll be a whole lot more fun than spending your life on the couch.
If you’d like more help, or any advice on finding an apprenticeship talk to Ms Arenas. Or you might like to read more resources on the website here.

Have a back-up plan: Pathways to Uni
UAC always recommends that, when you choose your course preferences, you include a 'back-up' course; that is, a course you are confident you'll be offered a place in and will be happy to study if you miss out on offers for your higher preferences. For example, you could include a diploma course in a similar area of study as your preferred degree course. You could then use your diploma studies as a stepping stone to the degree: you may even be able to move straight into second year. Pathways to uni.

There’s never been a better time to start an apprenticeship in NSW. The NSW Government is paying the course cost for 100,000 new apprenticeships – meaning apprentices undertaking a government funded apprenticeship no longer face a student fee of up to $2000. Apprenticeships are a great career path-way. They combine on-the-job training with classroom study to give you the skills and experience employers are looking for. Apprenticeships generally take around 3-4 years to complete, and apprentices earn a salary while they learn.
