Cultivating an engaged community

The aim of the Social Enterprise is to cultivate a connected and engaged community that shares the importance of St John’s values and aspirations in learning.

Strategies

  • To offer parents a greater sense of belonging to the St John’s community by improving purposeful engagement.

  • To develop a deeper connection and understanding of the broader learning community through the provision of opportunities for parents, grandparents, past students and beyond to engage with the College.

  • To empower parent partnerships with the College to support students in their educational journey.

  • To leverage the experience, skills and relationships of parents and past students to facilitate career development and network opportunities for current students and graduates.
