Physical Education Classes
Welcome back all students to the 2022 school year.
A reminder to all students for Term 1, all Physical Education Classes are water-based for the first eight weeks of this term. Therefore, students are reminded to please bring the following with them on PE days:
- John XXIII Bathers
- John XXIII Rashie. If you have not purchased a College Rashie, please ensure you bring a different rashie until you have the College uniform. Students will not be permitted in the pool without a rashie on.
- Towel and goggles
- A water bottle to all PE lessons
All students will have access to sunscreen during the day, however, it is recommended that all students apply sunscreen before school.
Wishing everyone a fantastic year in all things movement and health.

Drones & Dungeons
Drone Club will start up again this year after the Year 7 camp to allow everyone to settle back into the normal rhythm of College life. No experience is necessary to join and everyone is welcome to give it a go. We will fly drones (provided by the College) on Thursday afternoons from 3:20 to 4:40pm, starting in Week 5.
Likewise, the Dungeons & Dragons Club will also begin in Week 5. Any student who would like to run a campaign should see Mr Connellan as soon as possible. The College has purchased a number of different modules that the student Dungeon Masters can borrow to serve as the basis of their adventures. We will have a meeting in Week 4 to sign up students into the different campaigns that have been organised prior.
