The teachers at St John’s Grammar are delighted with these results, and we salute their commitment and skills as high-quality educators. It is very transparent that their work really matters, and that setting up the futures for young people in their care is a mission that is very much in their hearts.
Our exceptional results are also inspired by an extended team of dedicated people who provide the layers of support, guidance and care that our young stars need as they navigate the challenges and demands of Year 12. At St John’s Grammar we relish a close working partnership with parents, and I congratulate all of our proud parents and carers, who have invested so much into the educational journeys of their children.
The elevation of St John’s Grammar as a school leader in academic performance in South Australia has resulted from an ongoing set of improvement plans across our teaching and learning pillars, developed and implemented over the past seven years. In addition, every young graduate has developed a more refined understanding of their future directions and our excellent career programs help open so many exciting opportunities for further study and work.
The entire St John’s Grammar Community is very proud of every member of the Class of 2024. We wish them all the best in the next stage of their journeys.
