YEAR 12 HALF YEARLY REPORT AWARDS

Congratulations to the following students for receiving Principal’s Awards at the end of last term, recognising their achievements in the Half Yearly Reports.

PALS GROWTH CONVERSATIONS

Year 12 have continued to engage with their growth conversations in PALS. With the support of the Year 12 PALS teachers and mentors, students are provided with the opportunity to reflect on their current learning and devise SMART goals for further growth and improvement.

YEAR 9 CAMP HELPERS

Thank you to our Year 12 students and leaders who helped with the night time activities at Year 9 Camp this week. In a similar way to the Year 7 Camp in Term 1, the Year 12 volunteers represented our year group extremely well in assisting at the bush dance.

CROSS COUNTRY

Last Wednesday was the school Cross Country carnival. A high number of Year 12 students attended the event as participants which was great to see.

Congratulations to Reuben Pichler, Jade Poulton and Lucas Johnson for finishing up as Cross Country Age Champions in their age groups. Acknowledgement must also be given to the SRC volunteers who attended the carnival early to support as helpers on the day.

HSC ASSESSMENT CALENDAR

With the start to a new term, this is a timely reminder to all students to check the St John’s HSC Assessment Calendar for 2022 for upcoming assessment tasks this term. Students may ask their PALS teachers or the curriculum office for the calendar if they require an additional copy. It is vital that students keep track of key assessment dates and deadlines as they progress this year.
Other important curriculum documents (including misadventure forms) can be found on the school website under the curriculum tab.

HSC WRITTEN EXAM TIMETABLE

The 2022 HSC Written Exam Timetable has now been released by NESA.

A copy of the timetable can be found on our school website beneath the curriculum tab or by clicking here.

YEAR 12 RETREAT

It is very exciting that our Year 12 Retreat is fast approaching. The postponed Year 12 Retreat from Term 4 2021 is taking place on May 25-27 (Term 2, Week 5) 2022 at Youthworks Shoalhaven Conference Centre, Waterslea. Retreats offer a rare opportunity for students to stop and think more deeply about the religious and spiritual dimension of their life. They are a compulsory aspect of the Religious Education Program of the School. Students are expected to make arrangements if part-time work, TAFE or other commitments clash.

LIBRARY STUDY SUPPORT

Year 12 are reminded of the study options that are available to them at St John’s. In addition to Gooroon Homework Centre on Wednesday afternoons and Mathematics tutoring Thursday afternoons, the upstairs section of the school library is available for Year 12 during lunch, recess and afterschool.

WALK AWARDS

This year we have continued our year group ‘WALK AWARDS’.

In celebrating the achievements and positive examples of students in the year group, teachers and students have been nominating Year 12 for the Walk Awards. The award is modelled after our year group motto:

‘Walk in the way of the good and the just and be the change you wish to see in the world’.

Students who have recently set a positive example within the school can be nominated. Positive examples come from a range of things such as work ethic in the classroom, engagement with brain training, improvements in learning, supporting others, exhibiting one or more of the core SJE values and/or learning dispositions, helping another student or staff member, or living by Pax Christi. Each week during the Tuesday morning meeting, a winner from the week's nominations will be chosen at random. This student will receive a special 'walk award' pin which can be worn on the school blazer. Other nominees will receive a positive affirmation on Compass.

The winners our recent Walk Awards are:
