For those of you who have been part of the St John’s community a while, you may remember our original playing for keeps project in 2020 which was created to ensure that our playing fields were fit for year-round use.  It began with upgrading the drainage and installing infield pop-up irrigation and securing an independent water source via a bore. Once the fields were in tip-top shape, we wanted to ensure that we had fantastic seating for the entire St John’s community to watch sports, events, school competitions and performances, or just enjoy the spectacular view across to Mt Pirongia. It was agreed that we would do terraced seating and give our spectators the best seats in the house.

By 2023, the new sports fields and updated terraced seating was opened with 160 golden plaques in place, a testament to the rich history of our college, and in some ways, a record of the many people who walked through the school's gates and became part of the St John's family.

Now, it is your chance. We have a final 160 seats left to claim on our golden terraces.
