We recently celebrated our annual Marcellin Champagnat Day, a special occasion that brings our boys together to celebrate our school community and spirit. This year marked the inaugural House Singing Competition, which proved to be a tremendous success.

Congratulations to Roncalli House for winning the Singing Competition, and to Marcellin House for taking out the overall MC Day Championship. Well done to all students for their enthusiasm, participation, and house pride throughout the day.

Congratulations to Daniel Bossenger and Mikaere Cull on successfully completing and passing the Gateway Aviation programme in Term 1. Their hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off, and they should be extremely proud of what they have accomplished. Well done for taking another step towards a future in the aviation industry gentlemen. ✈️

A strong finish to the week for our Performing Arts at St John's.

What a day for 'the Wingmen' at the Big Sing Competition 2026 in Tauranga on Thursday 11th June.
They performed so well and came away with the 'Best Audience Impact Award'. Special thanks to our amazing Choir Director Jayne Tankerlsey for leading the Choir to success!

The sun was out in all its glory, providing perfect conditions for the annual Catholic Integrated Schools (CIS) sports tournament. A total of 45 teams gathered for a day of exciting competition, with students showcasing their talents across rugby, hockey, and football.
The tournament was filled with impressive displays of skill, determination, and teamwork as young athletes competed with passion and pride. Supporters lined the sidelines, creating a vibrant atmosphere and cheering on the future sporting stars of their schools. The event once again highlighted the strong sporting spirit within the CIS community, bringing students together in friendly competition while fostering sportsmanship,
camaraderie, and a love of sport.
A big thank you to all the participants, coaches and managers from participating schools as well as the teachers and students from St John’s College, acting as officials, for making this day a roaring success.

Help us support two worthy groups this month by donating boys clothing in good, clean condition or knitting peggy squares or donating wool which are used to make blankets for premature babies.

All items will be gratefully received at our school office.

The annual Student Leaders' Netball match with took place today in front of an enthusiastic crowd. Our boys took a while to warm up to the rules of the game but eventually came out winners 11-10.
