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.
