STUDENT LEADERS 2018 is going to be an exciting year for St Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College. We have the utmost faith in the ability of our leadership team to fully utilise their talents in order to bring out the best in our school. This year we hope to be shining examples of what it is to be Marist men by upholding the values of St. Marcellin Champagnat and acting in the way of Mary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Presenceâ&#x20AC;? is this years focus Pillar, and we will look to apply this Marist Charism by being present to each other, and to the wider St Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community.

Eight activities had the students dashing about the Library and using their English, Maths and other skills to complete each challenge. Tasks included writing a Haiku about the library printer, completing a STEM activity using marshmallows and toothpicks, Book Spine Poetry, a Te Reo quiz and more. All agreed it was a fun orientation and they took away a lot of new information about the Library. One student commented that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Library is a cool placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

MOBILE DENTAL SERVICE We're hosting Mobile Dental Divas on site in the latter part of Term 2. They provide free dental care for students who are not registered at any other dental practice. They will be here on an annual basis, so students can enrol with this service and receive checkups and routine dental treatment each year. Students must be NZ Residents to access the service.

We'll send more information out in Term 2.

Seniors are working hard on their language skills, aided by some excellent computer programs to reinforce their learning, both in school and at home.

Juniors have been in action around the school, making the most of the weather while they can. Year 10's enjoyed learning parts of the body, and consolidating this knowledge with the "Dead Body" game ("juego del cadaver"), racing to label the body parts of their "deceased" comrade.

Year 9's have recently enjoyed a Treasure Hunt (La Busqueta al Tesoro), which saw them explore all parts of the school in a frantic attempt to solve the clues in Spanish and win jelly beans as a reward.

Year 11's experienced being blindfolded and guiding each other around the basketball courts.
