Other activities included a Primary School Soccer Gala Day which was held at St John's. Numerous Primary Schools were invited to play in the Paul Wade Cup soccer tournament. 

The SIS Swimming squad, after many weeks of training in Term 1, competed in the SIS Swimming Carnival at MSAC. St John’s came fourth overall which was a fantastic result, and the swimmers should be proud of their efforts with many claiming a ribbon of some kind. 

Weekly sport also occurred with all year levels getting a chance to show off their skills throughout the Term.
