We’re Listening! Have Your Say in the TTFM Survey
Last week, we invited students, teachers, and parents to share their thoughts and experiences of our school through an online survey. These surveys play a vital role in our whole-school evaluation and planning process.
Last year, we were thrilled with the incredible response from our community, with 193 families taking the time to complete the survey. This year, we’re aiming to match that fantastic level of participation and warmly encourage you to complete the Tell Them From Me (TTFM) - Partners in Learning survey.
So far, 110 families have shared their feedback - let’s keep the momentum going and aim for another amazing response like last year!
The anonymous survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and will be open until Friday 30 May 2025. You are able to access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device by using the URL below:

Celebrating Community Through Art:
SJPC’s Artist in Residence Mural Project with MULGA
We’re excited to announce that this year’s Artist in Residence will be none other than the renowned Australian contemporary artist MULGA - also known as Joel Moore!
Many of you will already be familiar with MULGA’s vibrant, playful style, and we’re excited to welcome him into our school community in Term 3. During his week with us, MULGA will create a large mural on the east-facing wall of the hall in the B-Block sails area. He’ll also be running Visual Arts workshops with our students, sharing his unique approach to art and creativity.
The mural will celebrate who we are as a community, featuring elements of our Catholic identity, local Coffs Harbour imagery, and the rich cultural diversity of our college. This exciting project supports our College Goals of nurturing a strong sense of belonging and deepening our connection to our Catholic identity and culture, with a special focus on our Patron Saint - St John Paul II.
To make sure this mural reflects the heart of our community, we invited all students to contribute their ideas via a Google form shared last week. Some common themes which emerged from their responses are:
Our Place & Environment
- Local nature: ocean, beaches, native plants & animals
- Indigenous culture and connection to land
Faith & Belonging
- Catholic identity: cross, Jesus, school symbols
- Community, diversity, inclusion, and unity
Joyful School Spirit
- Bright colours, fun, pop culture
- Pride in school, sport, and Australian identity
We can’t wait to see this project come to life!
