GRADUATING CLASS OF 2024

Congratulations to our HSC class of 2024 who have completed their exams. They are a wonderful group of students, who can now focus on the Graduation Dinner next week and their life after school.

I also thank their teachers who over their time at St John’s have been so supportive. There is a significant investment of self when teaching and generating the personal connections that allow us to teach well. I also thank Mrs Daley for her commitment and dedication to this group as their year coordinator.

WORKING BEE

We held our school working bee after school on Wednesday 6 November and I would like to offer my sincerest thanks to all the students, family members and staff who gave up their afternoon to help complete various jobs around the school. There was a great turnout and we were able to accomplish many of the tasks that will improve the school environment for our students. We have a wonderful community here at St John's that are always happy to give up their time to benefit the school that they take so much pride in.

HELPING YOUR TEEN NAVIGATE
SDIA54.jpg
TECHNOLOGY USE

In today’s tech-driven world, helping teenagers navigate digital spaces responsibly has become a crucial part of parenting. Research reveals that, when managed effectively, technology can support teens' learning, creativity, and social connections. However, studies also show that excessive use, especially of social media, is linked to issues like anxiety, disrupted sleep, and reduced academic performance. Parental guidance is essential for balancing these benefits and risks.

Research from the Australian eSafety Commissioner indicates that teens benefit when parents engage in moderate monitoring of their online habits. Rather than strict control, positive outcomes are achieved when parents discuss technology use openly and agree on boundaries together. The Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) found teens who have structured yet flexible rules around screen time and device usage tend to develop healthier habits that they carry into adulthood. Furthermore, another survey by Common Sense Media shows that teens whose parents are actively involved in setting guidelines report feeling less stress related to their technology use.

Parental monitoring can also help teens understand privacy, online etiquette, and cyber-safety. By guiding teens on responsible use, parents can reduce exposure to risks like cyberbullying and inappropriate content. A collaborative approach, where teens feel respected and supported, fosters trust and encourages them to make smarter choices online.

Ultimately, setting clear expectations about tech use allows teens to enjoy the benefits of digital access while learning essential self-regulation skills. By engaging in open dialogue and setting balanced limits, parents can empower teens to thrive in a connected world.

U14 BOYS AFL CHAMPIONSHIPS

On the 28th of October, the under 14 boys AFL team travelled to North Dalton Park to play in the Secondary Boys AFL championships. Our team consisted of a range of abilities from representative AFL players to no AFL experience. The boys were off to a great start with a 22-15 win over John Therry. Our teamwork and combinations started coming together in game two with a massive 58-2 win over St Josephs. Our last pool game was against Holy spirit and we came away with a 47-10 win, meaning we were first in our pool.

Our semi final saw us come up against Edmund Rice and with a few quick goals by them in the start of the game we were chasing them for the win and unfortunately went down by 9 points. This meant we were to play for 3rd place against Corpus Christi who we beat convincingly. A special mention to the following players who demonstrated unbelievable skills and athleticism- Matt Reid, Tali Douglass, Brandon Exton, Caiden Green and our captain Kai Reid. I am extremely impressed with the dedication of the team at training and I can't wait to see the success these boys will have in the years to come. A special mention to Mr Fisher for his help on the day.

YEAR 9 REFLECTION DAY

What a pleasure it was to spend the day with Year 9 students on Tuesday as we explored the skills and qualities necessary for leadership. The students engaged with the activities positively and developed stronger connections with their peers across the year group.

Mrs. Renshaw, (Student Leadership Facilitator), and I spoke to the students about how, as they move into Year 10 in 2025, every student has an important role to play in leadership at St. John’s. This responsibility includes how they conduct themselves as role models and how they engage with junior students, helping to shape the supportive and positive culture of the school.

The aims of the activities included:

  • Drumming Activity – Highlighting the importance of working with peers to achieve a goal.
  • Failure Time! – Working in teams to solve challenges, highlighting the need to persist at a task, accept imperfection in themselves and others, and demonstrate support for others, even in the midst of failure.
  • Mindful or Mind Full? – Good leaders know they need to care for themselves first. This session focused on calming skills and provided tools to use when feeling overwhelmed.
  • The Leader I Want to Be! – This session explored leadership as a concept, personality types, and what is required to achieve the perfect balance for good leadership.
  • Facilitation and Communication Skills – Focused on the importance of good communication skills using activities that required students to give instructions to their peers to achieve a goal.
  • Smart Gym – De-escalation and self-regulation strategies were developed through physical challenges.

Going to the Ball! This was the final activity and the highlight of the day! In groups, students chose a few “couples” to dress up in paper outfits made by the groups, to take part in the fashion parade at the end of the day. Each group cheered on their “couples,” enjoying the unique designs that had been created for their respective princes and princesses. 

STUDENT REFLECTIONS

Kaylee Williams

I learnt the effectiveness of communication within a team/group. We also learned that a good leader is inclusive, composed, and able to stay calm and manage their stresses. My highlight of the day was when we made Naomi's dress out of newspaper. We all collaborated on our ideas and brought them to reality. 

Sarah Hylton-Cummins

During these activities, I learnt different things about leadership including that it's okay to fail in things, how to manage stress, how things can be easier when you work with a team and that with some things in life, you need to take charge of things. My highlight of the day would probably be when we dressed Naomi up in newspapers and watched everyone walk down the 'runway'. 

Rebekah Allmark

I learnt  that leadership requires dedication and actively working toward one's dreams, and I discovered that resilience will help me as a leader, while mindfulness is something I experienced that will help me as a person.

Ethan Luke

You need to be able to communicate well and listen to others, as everyone sees things differently and different people need different ways of communicating.

YEAR 10 AWE HUNTERS EXPERIENCE

Four Year 10 boys from each of our secondary schools were invited to be part of a unique experience to connect with God in the beauty of nature. This was held at “The Tops” centre at Stanwell Park. The initiative aimed to build connections with peers from other Catholic schools to foster a sense of unity and brotherhood. The boys were encouraged to be courageous and explore the opportunities for Catholic teachings and values to shape their everyday decisions.

AWE_Hunters_Experience_3_.png

“The Year 10 hunters overnight excursion was a really fun experience that I think all years should be able to participate in. My favourite part of the excursion was meeting new people from other schools and doing fun activities with them. Another fun part was going for a 3 hour bush walk that led us to a rock pool that we swam in.”

Sonny Jamieson 

“Four boys left on a Wednesday morning to go up to Helensburgh for two days and one night, as we got there we were greeted by Mr Davis who introduced us to the other campers. Shortly after we got on a bus up to a beach for a swim we then got back to the campsite and enjoyed a nice lunch. We then were given our cabins for the night, as we went into the cabins everyone had showers and a bit of a rest.”

Noah Walker

“The Awe hunters camp was an excellent experience. I really enjoyed the walk to the figure eight pools where we all went for a swim. Another highlight was having a bonfire at night. Another excellent part was when I met Fr. James, a relatively new priest who joined us for the walk to the figure eight pools. We also did part of the ring track around Mt Keira and saw the view from the lookout.” 

William Turley

On Wednesday the 30th and Thursday the 31st three other year 10 boys and I went to Stanwell Tops to participate in a two day immersion. It was a great experience to build a better connection with God and new friendships with the other boys who we had never met before. My favourite part of the two days was hiking down to the figure 8 pools and appreciate all God's creation down there and his ability to make features like the figure 8 pools with no help from people.

What a busy time it has been for the HSIE department

YEAR 10 EXCURSION - SYDNEY JEWISH MUSEUM  

It was an early and bleary-eyed start for Year Ten History students for their Jewish Museum excursion, with many having awoken before five o’clock to arrive to school on time.

After an uneventful bus ride to Sydney’s city center and a quick break in the park to have something to eat, students entered the Sydney Jewish Museum to begin their tour. After having been divided into groups, the Year Ten students had the privilege of being accompanied on their tour of the museum by dedicated volunteer staff, of whom many were Jewish themselves.

The museum has a vast collection of personal artifacts donated by the Jewish community, ranging from religious items to smuggled personal effects that accompanied Holocaust survivors through many of the trials and tragedies they endured in those years. Much of what students had learnt in class was, through this collection, made far more tangible than could have been possible otherwise.

Many students recounted following the excursion the excellent capability of the volunteers being able to combine the displays of the museum and their own personal histories and interpretations to bring the events of the Holocaust to life, from its early days to the insidious scenes of Auschwitz that inhabit the collective conscious of the Australian public.

Following this, students were immediately directed to listen to the story of a Holocaust survivor. Students listened to Andrew, who, with great detail and poise, told the story of his family. Originally from Hungary, Andrew recounted the lives of his mother and father, before his father was tragically killed in a forced labour battalion. After telling the story of he and his mother’s escape from Europe, Andrew spoke of his step-father’s experiences in Auschwitz, cementing for the students the far-reaching consequences of the Holocaust. No single member of his family escaped its impacts.

Throughout the excursion, the students of St Johns conducted themselves with all the dignity and respect that was expected of them. Their teachers greatly appreciated and commend the students for the manner in which they approached each aspect of the museum experience with polite sensitivity, and reflection.

YEAR 10 EXCURSION - GEOGRAPHY

On Wednesday the 30th of October Year 10 Geography headed off for a field study at the local Ben’s Walk. They were very excited as the previous group were unable to attend due to weather conditions. As part of the Australian Curriculum students will be learning about Environmental Change and Management and Human Wellbeing in their Year 10 Geography classes.. Students undertook a range of fieldwork activities related to the site in order to gain experience in conducting fieldwork and to complement their in class learning with real life examples.

STAGE 4 - A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

This semester Year 7 and 8 conducted a personal interest project looking at a number of areas in the curriculum. Topics included the following:

  • The Vikings 
  • Medieval Europe
  • The Ottoman Empire 
  • Renaissance Italy
  • Angkor/Khmer Empire 
  • Japan under the Shoguns 
  • The Polynesian expansion across the Pacific
  • Mongol expansion 
  • The Black Death in Asia, Europe and Africa 
  • The Spanish Conquest of the Americas
  • Aboriginal and Indigenous Peoples, Colonisation and Contact History

The level of the display was amazing and it was really nice to see staff also get into the spirit.

        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:

        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.

        Open Universities Australia can help you get into many university degrees without an ATAR.

        Here's how it works:

        1. You find your chosen degree on their website
        2. Instead of applying directly for the degree, you enrol in the first few subjects as an online student. There won't be any entry requirements.
        3. Once you successfully pass those subjects, you'll be able to transfer into the full degree. You can keep studying online, or ask for an on-campus place.

        You'll earn credit for your subjects, which means you won't fall behind everyone who enrolled the traditional way. You'll be studying towards your degree from day one.
