House system
In 2008 St John’s established a vertical House System which operates from Year 7 to Year 12. This system is designed to develop and encourage connectedness and loyalty in students to their House and the College.- Each House consists of eight Homeroom Groups, which consist of approximately 5 students from each of the 7 – 12 year levels.
- Each House has coordinator who is responsible for the overall development of each individual’s sense of belonging, loyalty and spirit in his/her House, as well as for administrative tasks.
- Each Homeroom Group is immediately cared for by the Homeroom teacher. As much as possible, the same Homeroom teacher will remain with the students throughout their enrolment at the College.
- Family members are placed in the same House but not usually in the same Homeroom Group.
- The Homeroom Groups meet for 11 minutes each morning.
- On different occasions, greater amounts of time are spent on House functions and House assemblies give students an opportunity to gather together to acknowledge student achievement and foster House spirit.
The House Coordinators oversee pastoral care of the students in their care. Dimensions of pastoral care include:
- pastoral care programs;
- appropriate behaviour of students;
- the correct wearing of Uniform;
- late arrivals and absenteeism of students;
- student progress;
- student subject selection and transition;
- student promotion; and
- conducting meetings and organising House activities with the House Leaders and Homeroom Representatives
The new houses are; Aquila, Columba, Delphinus, Leonis, Monoceros, and Phoenix.
The house captains are: Ryan Lacomel, Lilian Pham, Richelle Killeen, Neisi Rissotto, Lara Perera, Dusan Stevancevic, Gabrielle Catania, Daniel Belkin, Robert Hill, Monica Maroun, Daniel Polbrat and Belinda Dutt.
