INTERVIEWERS REQUIRED FOR MOCK INTERVIEWS
We are conducting a Mock Interview Day for our Year 11 students on Monday 23 September. This is a great opportunity for our students to experience the reality of preparing for and presenting themselves at an interview for potential employment.
We are currently sourcing parents and other members of the community with experience in interviewing who may be willing to donate their time to interview a series of students on this day at our school.
Interviews will be 15 minutes each and the day will be in three main sessions: 8.40am to 11.10am, 12.00pm to 1.45pm and 2.00pm to 2.45pm.
As we need to interview around 150 students on this day any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

TOURNAMENT OF MINDS (TOM) PREPARATION
This term 2 teams of St. John's students have been very busy preparing for the 2019 TOM competition which offers teams of students the opportunity to solve authentic, open-ended challenges that foster creative, divergent thinking whilst developing collaborative enterprise, excellence and teamwork.
Our language literature team is working on 'TOM-unication' comprising of Year 8's Grace Hartigan, Kane Williams and year 7's Lucas Tooley, Georgia Coleman, Lilly Kowalczyk and Victoria Sargeant.
Lilly is pleased the group are working well together, adding 'with a great team you can achieve anything!'.
The Arts group working on the 'Wizard of AUS' challenge consist of Year 7 students Harry Ludman, Hugh Vaughan, Isaac Sleath and Year 8's Ben Royston, Jamie Godfrey, Zac Harrap and Riley Mason.
Isaac is enjoying being a part of the group, noting 'TOM has been a great way to learn about teamwork and to engage in challenging activities'.
Jamie agrees noting 'TOM is a fun and educational activity that teaches us the importance of teamwork'.
We wish both teams the best of luck for the Tournament of Minds Challenge on Sunday 1 September!
