We acknowledge that a St John’s College education is a privilege, and many of our students live in a “bubble”

with little awareness of the broader realities of their community, region or indeed, world.

Central to our outreach programmes are our core values of empathy and respect. These include tutoring at an Orphanage in Hatcliffe; playing soccer with orphans; supporting the initiative of the Paediatric Oncology Ward at Parirenyatwa; and setting up a computer room in a rural school. We hope to make our students aware of the needs of others who are less fortunate than themselves, and that they will continue this desire to help others throughout their lives.

This concern for others also extends to our internal community through our Servant Mentorship programme which fosters bonds between seniors and juniors while developing the leadership skills of our seniors. As bonds are forged and positive behaviour instilled and encouraged, our internal community will be strengthened and our values entrenched.

Through a commitment to Service, we aim to raise young people who are the visible embodiment of our core values of Empathy, Integrity and Respect: who go forward as principled leaders who will have a positive and lasting impact on our broader society.
