Year 7 Belonging Night

Next Monday night sees the traditional opportunity to experience the true essence of St John Paul College at our upcoming, Year 7 Belonging Night. 

This annual event is designed to foster meaningful relationships, celebrate our diverse community, and strengthen the bonds that unite us. Jon Baldwin and Mikayla Hannaford (Year 7 Leaders of Student Wellbeing) have been working hard to create an evening where everyone can feel at home, connect with other families, and experience the supportive and nurturing environment that defines our College. 

Join us for a night of engaging activities, heartfelt conversations, and the opportunity to build lasting connections within our wonderful Year 7 community. We encourage all families to bring along a plate of food to share and to also see firsthand how St John Paul College fosters a sense of belonging for all.

Instead of our traditional formal Parent-Student-Teacher Conference. This evening will provide an opportunity to meet your child’s teachers and have informal conversations about their learning journey.

Rather than a traditional Parent-Student-Teacher Conference, all our Year 7 class teachers will be mingling with families throughout the evening, giving you the chance to meet them over a cuppa or a shared plate of food. This approach will allow for some meaningful conversations without the formality of scheduled appointments.

If you have specific academic concerns or issues that require a more in-depth discussion, follow-up meetings or phone calls can be arranged.

We value your feedback and will be surveying parents after the event to refine and enhance our parent engagement approach. We look forward to seeing you there and getting to know your Year 7 Teachers.

We invite all Year 7 students and their families to come and discover what makes St John Paul College such a special place.
