Olympic Torch Relay - Our moment to shine
St John's RC Academy is delighted to confirm that two of our pupils will be taking part in the Olympic Torch Relay as it makes its way through Perth.
Louise Ford (P7) and Chris Wardlaw (S5) will carry the torch through the grounds of Scone Palace and Stirling during June 2012. Colin Keough - a member of staff from the Live Active Leisure team based at our North Inch Community Campus - will carry the Olympic Torch through the streets of Dunblane on this exciting and highly prestigious national event. It is fantastic to have St John's RC Academy pupils and North Inch Community Campus partners take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity and no doubt we will all be there to cheer them on and join in on the celebrations. A huge well done to Louise, Chris and Colin for being recognised by the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay Team.
Spirit of Youth Awards
Pupils from S3-6 received their SQA certificates in August.
This year the pupils have gained some of the best school results ever so many of our young people (and their parents) were delighted at the end of the school holidays. More than a third of our S4 pupils gained more that 5 credits/intermediate 2 awards, and an amazing 30% of S5 achieved 3 or more Highers.
Well done to pupils, staff and parents!
Danielle Woods, Ewan McKenzie and Adrienne Jennings excelled in this year's examinations.

Columba 1400 - Ambassadors' Leadership Academy
During winter 2010, sixteen members of our school community - staff and pupils - graduated from the six day Ambassadors' Leadership Academy with the Columba 1400 team at their residence in Staffin on the Isle of Skye.
The experience helped every participant realise their potential to identify changes needed in their school community and to lead those changes.
The course helped raise the confidence of participants, allowed for lasting relationships to be formed and provided individuals with the tools required to cope better with everyday challenges.
