St John's Regional College


St John's Regional College is a Catholic co-educational secondary school located in Dandenong region in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

House system

In 2008, St John's established a vertical House System which operates from Year 7 to Year 12.
  • Each House consists of six Homeroom Groups, which consist of approximately 3 students from each of the 7–12 year levels.
  • Each House has a coordinator who is responsible for the overall development of each individual's sense of belonging, loyalty and spirit in his/her House, as well as for administrative tasks.
  • Each Homeroom Group is immediately cared for by the Homeroom teacher. As much as possible, the same Homeroom teacher will remain with the students throughout their enrolment at the College.
  • Family members are placed in the same House but not usually in the same Homeroom Group.
  • The Homeroom Groups meet for 10 minutes each morning.
  • On different occasions, greater amounts of time are spent on House functions and House assemblies to allow students to gather together to acknowledge student achievement and foster House spirit.
