Parents’ Information Evening
The College in partnership with the Parents’ Association will be hosting an information evening with a focus of keeping our young men alcohol and drug free. The evening will take the format of four brief presentations followed by an open forum and panel discussion based on questions raised from the audience.
The evening is about the school in partnership with parents taking responsibility for the behavior and actions of our boys. This evening will provide all with the opportunity to be honest about our concerns around teenage drinking and hopefully come to a consensus about the messages that we should be sending our boys.
Date: Monday 26 March
Time: 18h00 – 19h15
Venue: Rene England Auditorium
RSVP: By the 23rd of March for catering purposes – Mrs Modise on 011 645-3000 or e-mail modise at stjohnscollege.co.za
We look forward to your participation on the evening.
Yours sincerely
Roger Cameron
Headmaster
Upper IV Interfaith Excursions 2012
Each year, an Interfaith Excursion is arranged for the U4 year group as part of their Divinity curriculum. As such participation in these excursions is compulsory.
This excursion has been running as an integral part of the U4 curriculum since 2006. Visits to a Synagogue, Mosque, Buddhist Temple, Hindu Temple and Christian Churches different from our Anglican tradition, have been planned. These will take place on a designated excursion day in each of our 3 terms this year. This is an educational trip where understanding of and respect for other religions is encouraged. Additional discussions will be led by myself and The Revd. Dr. Jeremy Jacobs (Assistant Priest at St George’s Anglican Parish, Parktown).
The cost for the 3 days of excursion this year will be R375.00 which will be added to your son’s account. This cost includes: bus transport, snack lunches, materials for an activity and donations to charities supported by each religious group visited.
Attached is the indemnity form for the first of the three excursions taking place on Thursday 9th February 2012. The indemnity form must be filled in, signed and emailed to me or returned to Mrs Schaerer as soon as possible please, at the latest by Tuesday January 31st 2012:

We have every confidence that your son will enjoy this excursion and find it both educational and enriching. If you have any queries in this regard please do not hesitate to email me on pretoriusj at sjc.co.za.
Yours sincerely
The Revd. Jaques Pretorius

Notice regarding haircuts
Many pupils’ haircuts do not conform with school regulations. We have
identified a number of boys and requested them to report for a haircut
on Thursday 21 July and Friday 22 July at 11h00 in the Rene England
Auditorium.
If your son does not comply with this request and return to school on
Monday, without having had his hair cut, he will not be permitted to
write exams.
Any pupil who wishes to join one of these groups to have his hair cut,
is welcome to do so.
Mr C Bossert and Mrs A Nettleton
Meeting with Dietician
Dear Parents of Boarders
You may know that the school recently engaged the services of a firm of
dieticians to conduct an analysis of the food being served to the students
from our kitchen. The intention of the survey was to enable the College to
improve its food offering.
You are warmly invited to a meeting on Sunday 3 April at 17h30 in Jeffrey
Auditorium in order to hear more about what changes the College is planning.
I am sure that you will find the presentation by the dietician very
interesting and informative. We chose this timing as it will enable you to
attend after dropping your son or daughter at boarding.
A similar talk will be given to your sons and daughters early next term.
We look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting. We envisage that it
will last no longer than an hour.
Regards
Dave Campbell
