13.01.2022 Congratulations to our team on yesterday afternoon’s game against CSC. The new look SJC Eagles exceeded all expectations to be leading by a point after a hard fought and consistently exhilarating first half. The experienced hands held steady, the young boys were brave and exciting and the new editions drew startled gasps from the like of a Papuan waterfall. Huge thanks to the boarding staff who did most of the organising and cheered the boys proudly from the sidelines. Thanks to Scott who stepped in as last minute coach and very nearly manufactured an upset with his wily and inspirational leadership. Well done everyone.

05.01.2022 Last week the College hosted its annual Art Show, showcasing students’ art work for the year.

05.01.2022 Former student Antonio James moved from Darwin to follow his dream of playing football, and further his studies, now studying at Westminster School in Adelaide. He was featured in the South Australian Advertiser on the weekend, see article below. He has been likened to Port Adelaide premiership player Byron Pickett and began his career at the same club in Darwin as Crows great Andrew McLeod.... But Westminster rising star Antonio James’ sole focus is on playing team football and supporting his teammates. James, who lined up with the Darwin Buffaloes last season, relocated to Adelaide this year to board at the Marion-based school, where his talent has shone brightly in the first XVIII. Dragons coach Tim Weatherald said the 17-year-old’s skill and strength were comparable to the 2004 Norm Smith Medallist. Byron Pickett, said Weatherald, when asked who James reminds him of. AJ is a powerful defender who has explosive speed and a penetrating kick. This has enabled him to cut off a lot of the opposition forward movements and then move the ball quickly down to our end of the ground. He is a very exciting player to watch, who has a great attitude and just wants to do his best every week. James is among the young guns set to showcase their potential in The Advertiser’s live streaming of select Messenger Shield games. The coverage begins on advertiser.com.au with the clash between local rivals Westminster and Sacred Heart at 2.15pm on Saturday. James hails from Mataranka, a small town of 350 people located 420km southeast of Darwin. He was enjoying the change of lifestyle in Adelaide and the challenge of the city’s premier schools competition. Footy and schooling here has been going good, the Year 11 student said. I wanted to move here to get a good education, as well as to try to develop my footy skills. It is a bit different to Darwin, training is a lot more full on and how we play footy here in Adelaide is very different. The boys in Darwin are small and skilful. But the boys here are big and strong. Before featuring in three senior games in the NTFL Premier League last year, James played for NT Thunder’s under-16 side. He was also named MVP for the Flying Boomerangs a national Indigenous team in a two-match exhibition series against a multicultural World Team in 2018. James cannot be drafted until next year, but is keen to showcase his qualities to AFL recruiters. Hopefully one day I can play AFL, but I have a lot of work to do first, he said. See more

04.01.2022 Last Friday, the College celebrated Sacred Heart Day and 60 Years' Celebration. We celebrated a special mass at St Mary's Cathedral in the morning, where past staff and students came together to help us celebrate. Students then made their way to the wave pool, where we continued the day with swimming, beach volley ball and soccer. ... Sacred Heart Day will be one of the special days our students will remember here at St John's. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be everywhere loved. Forever!

04.01.2022 To finalise our celebrations for NAIDOC week, we held an assembly last Friday, with guest speakers and past students of the College, Nova Peris and Rob Collins. Rob and Nova held a Q&A with our students about their experience at St John's and their successes.
