Developing people of good character

The aim of the Wisdom Enterprise is to develop people of good character through the celebration of cultural diversity and intergenerational partnerships with courage and leadership.

Strategies

  • To establish and expand links with extended family members to develop stronger community partnerships to better support the social and emotional wellbeing of students and staff.

  • To develop and facilitate programs that offer a deeper understanding on the development of character and emotional intelligence of our students.

  • To celebrate St John’s rich diverse cultural community and further promote understanding of different cultures and backgrounds.

  • To encourage students to face challenges with courage and engage in leadership opportunities throughout their years at St John’s.
