NEWS FROM JAG

EARTHCARE CERTIFIED
Did you know St John's is a Level 3 certified Catholic Earthcare School? To achieve this certification we had to show how we care for our common home through prayer, dialogue, education and action. Catholic Earthcare Schools transform hearts and minds, so as to hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.  

A level 3 certified school is committed to a whole of school ecological change and implementing its first change actions, using its links between its charism and ecological dialogue to drive commitment to change. At St John's, we do this through our JAG (Johnnie’s Action Group) team. The group consists of students who are passionate about environmental sustainability and keeping our school accountable for its environmental actions. 

Families, like schools, have been identified as one of the 7 groups to work towards the 7 Laudato Si’ goals over 7 years. Our St John's families have the opportunity to become a certified Catholic Earthcare Family. The program includes 4 phases and at the completion of each phase, families will receive a certificate.
