The 2018 JPC Senior Drama class is an exceptionally talented group of actors and it is because of their talent that this hugely challenging and provocative play was selected to showcase their talents. I encourage you to attend one of the two performances. You will not be disappointed. SCHOOL FEES I extend my sincere thanks to all parents who pay school fees. We attempt to keep these to a minimum. The reality for us is that without them it would be impossible to maintain the very high standard of education John Paul College provides. SIGN OUT PROCESS: SICKBAY It has come to my attention that many students are contacting parents direct to collect them from school when they are feeling unwell. The process at John Paul College is for students to come to the nurse in the sickbay to be assessed and if required, the nurse will make contact with the parents to collect the child and sign the child out.

    MORE TAL K │ EDITIO N 12 │ 26 APRIL 2019 MORE TALK │ EDITION 1 2 │ 26 APRIL 20 19 WEEKLY SCRIPTURE SWEPT AWAY I t ’ s the early hours of Easter Monday morning (01:36 to be precise) and I am awakened from my much - needed beauty sleep by an unusual sound! Has the dog jumped into the pool? Alarmed by this confusing thought I groggily sprint all of four meters, tear back th e curtains and stare at the body of still water. No dog. But…the sound continues. It is an unusual sound to be sure. Ears now awake, I make my w ay t o the opposite window and stare out. There in the dark, broom in hand is my dear wife! She’s ankle deep in wat er chasing the rain’s downpour towards the now unblocked drain. Satisfied, I returned to bed …ha, ha – just kidding. Whilst supporting my wife’s endeavours (at that very hour) I got to thinking how Noah’s generation must have felt struggling to hold bac k the unstoppable rising waters of God’s radical purging. No number of brooms would succeed as the sovereign God metered out Hi s e nd t o an evil world. Social media pinged relentlessly regarding this weekend’s devastation; highlighting again and again all t hat was being swept away. Despite mankind’s natural tendencies God is merciful, and He makes a promise when the waters receded that man and anima l w o uld never endure a flood of that magnitude again. With the recent reminder of our heavy rainfalls, may we a l l hu mb ly acknowledge and recognise His divinity and authority over all.

  • Quarterly Report January to March 2019
    Quarterly Report January to March 2019 REPORT ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) recently released a report on child sexual abuse and exploitation, based on a study of the approach which 40 countries took to such offences. South Africa was one of the countries included in the study. It ranked 15th out of 40 for its measures to protect children against sexual abuse and exploitation, according to an index the EIU developed. We can, and we must, protect children from all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation in all settings. Children deserve nothing less. Here are 10 things that emerged from the report, titled Out of the Shadows. 1) Just over half (21) of the 40 countries analysed have legal protections for boys within their child rape laws. 868 Children 2) Sexual abuse is happening everywhere, regardless of a assisted country's socio-economic status or its citizens' quality of life. 3) Sexual abuse is increasingly enabled by the internet but at the FOR FREE same time, an experimental internet program is "crawling" the web to find abusive and exploitative images of children to have Jan to March them reported and removed. 4) Children with disabilities, those displaced through trafficking or forced migration, those living in care institutions and those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender can be especially vulnerable. 5) At household and community level, chaotic lifestyles resulting from neglect, alcohol and substance abuse are linked to most forms of violence against and among children. 1 6) The absence of protective relationships and environments are factors that are often predictive of sexual violence against children across cultures.
