St John's is all about community and providing students the opportunity to be the best person they can be. One of the ways St John's does this is by providing opportunities for students to be involved in extracurricular activities. 

The benefits of involvement in extracurricular activities include:

• Explore new interests

• Contribute to the community

• Giving students productive breaks from the monotony of studies

• Boost self confidence

• Learn new skills

• Develops thinking skills

• Improves time management

• Broadens social skills

• Enhance academic performance

So, at our last year meeting, I was very excited when I asked students in Year 7 to stand if they had been involved in any extracurricular activities and …….. most of the year group stood up!! And they have only been at school for one term!! Below are some of the ways they have contributed to the community and the students who have been involved:

ALL students will be able to contribute to the community at the school’s Foundation Day on Friday 3 June. Planning has started - with each PALS group preparing a stall for the fair. There was lots of energy coming from the PALS rooms during the planning meetings last week and I am looking forward to visiting the stalls on the day.
