The beginning of term 4 is significant in many ways, especially for our departing year 12 students. On behalf of everyone in the St John's Community, we wish the graduating Year 12 class of 2024 the best for their upcoming exams and futures. Their time at St John's is drawing to a close. Hopefully, throughout their journey at St John's, they have created beautiful memories, made lasting friendships, and gathered outstanding achievements.

For all Year 12 students, your path to a successful future will always be littered with obstacles. Do not get bogged down by the challenges. Continue your journey towards a successful future with focus, determination, and hard work.

We also congratulate all parents, guardians, and careers who have been beside the year 12 students on their journey this year. You have all done an amazing job getting their sons and daughters ready to graduate from St John's and prepare them for the future.

Everyone in the St John's community looks forward to seeing where life will take you next. Our prayers will go with you whatever you do and wherever you go.

"The school year has gone by so quickly! ☹

As we approach the end of Year 12, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on everything we've accomplished together. This year has been about so much more than just exams; it's been about growing, learning, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. From our fun times together, for example, at retreats and on sports carnival days, to overcoming the challenges we have faced throughout the year, the graduating Year 12 students have made it this far with resilience and determination.

No matter what lies ahead, let's remember that we've already achieved so much. We've built friendships, discovered strengths, and learned lessons that will guide us wherever life takes us next. This time is about celebrating our journey and the unique paths each of us will follow.

As we progress, let's keep supporting one another, knowing there's so much more to look forward to beyond exams. The future is wide open, and the experiences and connections we've made here will carry us through to whatever comes next. Stay positive, be kind to yourself, and remember, we've got this!

I wish everyone the best in this exciting chapter ahead."

"Over the first week of the term 3 school holidays, scored Year 12s completed their first set of trial exams for their subjects in preparation for their final exams, which started in late October and continued throughout most of November. During the first two weeks of term 4, all scored Year 12s  completed a second set of trial exams for all their subjects.

Unscored VCE and VCE VM students completed various courses during the first week of Term 4 to assist them in their future lives and careers. The students participated in RSA training and obtained their white card and first aid certificates.

All year 12 students will participate in their graduation ceremony at school on the Tuesday of the third week of term. This will be their final goodbye to the college community.

Best of luck to all year 12s preparing for exams!"
