House system
In 2008, St John's established a vertical House System which operates from Year 7 to Year 12.
Each House consists of six Homeroom Groups, which consist of approximately 3 students from each of the 7–12 year levels.
Each House has a 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 10 minutes each morning.
On different occasions, greater amounts of time are spent on House functions and House assemblies to allow students to gather together to acknowledge student achievement and foster House spirit.
