Practice for upcoming Year 12 Italian ATAR practical exams
On Sunday 14 June, 127 dedicated students of Italian (together with their equally dedicated teachers), spent an afternoon at Perth Modern in oral practice sessions.
A huge thank you to the WAATI (Western Australian Association for Teachers of Italian) committee for organising this fabulous opportunity for our students. I know they benefited from being given first hand examination tips, working with other teachers and also learning from their peers.
In bocca al lupo (all the best) to our John XXIII Year 12 Italian ATAR students, who sit their practical (oral) examinations this coming weekend.

Tournament of Minds
Well done to the John XXIII College STEM team who travelled to Darwin last weekend to compete in the 2018 Australasian Pacific Final. Despite a valiant team effort the eventual winners of the STEM category was Good Shepherd Lutheran College from Queensland.
A big thank you to Mr Damien Connellan and Ms Carla Tripi who accompanied the team to Darwin and also to the parents of the students for their support during the competition.
Let us look forward to Tournament of Minds 2019.

Media Night
The John XXIII Media Night was held on Monday night and was a huge success. A record number of guests came to watch the work made by Media students on the big screen in the GBLT. Overwhelmingly, the feedback from those who attended was that the films, trailers and music videos were highly entertaining and our students display immense creative talent and skill. Well done to all students whose work was exhibited. The audience voted for their favourite pieces from each year group in the People’s Choice Award. The winners will be presented at the next year assembly.
