Year 12 Overview
Our Year 12s leave St John’s Grammar ready to pursue further study, prepared for life beyond the classroom and confident to soar. With consistent, excellent academic results, our graduates are self-assured, compassionate and skilled, with the majority of our Year 12 students successful in achieving their first choice in tertiary study.
Whether they choose to pursue further study, volunteer overseas or go to work, St John’s Grammar students graduate ready to seek, strive and soar.
Our graduates study around the world in diverse career areas, as well as at home in Adelaide, where we have fostered a strong partnership with Flinders University and Adelaide University, allowing many of our students to begin University studies while still at school.
Career education in Year 12 is personalised and targeted, with guest speakers from universities around Australia regularly visiting our School to present to students and parents.
One-on-one career counselling ensures every student is fully prepared for life beyond the classroom so they can confidently soar beyond School.
Wellbeing remains a strong focus to ensure students can navigate their adult futures. These sessions include self-regulation, conflict management, study skills, healthy living and making safe choices. Buddy programs with our younger students, House activities, retreats and young leaders all deepen these connections.
All students in the Senior School can access support for their learning and our subject teachers provide one-on-one subject specific support. A Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program enables Years 7 to 12 students to bring a laptop of their choice for use on the School’s network.
Year 12 is a special year for St John’s Grammar students, with events like the Retreat, Formal and Graduation celebrations being highlights on the calendar; and opportunities for leadership, mentoring and support giving our seniors the chance to gain lifelong skills to take into the world as they take flight on their journey into independence.
