Year 7 Transition
Afternoon Club
Last Wednesday was our first opportunity to assist students with home learning, study planning and research skills. At Afternoon Club we encourage the students to ask for help. This week we had over 30 students working on an amazing range of aspects of their work. This was complemented by a Year 12 Maths student working with the Year 7s asking for help with their Maths homework. We look forward to many more Year 7 students meeting in the Library for Afternoon Club on Wednesdays. Year 7 teachers will be there to assist between 3:30 and 4:15.
Hats
All students are expected to wear hats to any outdoor classes, during lunch and recess. Students are asked to keep their hats at school in their lockers so they are available for any of these outdoor sessions.
Swimming Carnival
Congratulations to all students and teachers for their enthusiastic participation in the swimming carnival. Great sportsmanship and team spirit was observed throughout the day.

Students are starting to join interest groups and embrace the opportunities available to them at John XXIII College. The groups advertised include:
- Science Club
