Dedicated Year 12 and 13 students have taken a remarkable step towards environmental stewardship by planting native saplings throughout our school grounds, creating vital habitats that will support local wildlife for generations to come. This hands-on initiative beautifully embodies the Catholic principle of being faithful stewards of God`s creation, as emphasised in Laudato Si`, where Pope Francis calls us to care for our common home with both urgency and love. As students carefully tended to each sapling, they demonstrated the values of responsibility, community service, and reverence for all living things—core tenets of Catholic social teaching that remind us we are called to protect the most vulnerable, including the creatures and ecosystems that depend on our care. The diverse species planted will provide food and shelter for birds, insects, and small mammals, transforming our school site into a thriving sanctuary that serves as a living classroom for understanding interconnectedness and our role as guardians of biodiversity. This project not only enriches our environment but also nurtures in our students a deeper appreciation for the inherent dignity of creation and their sacred duty to preserve it for future generations. #theleaders #sjf6thform #powerofgood #hopelightandpreparinghteheart @RC_Southwark @CAFODSchools @medway_council_news

Our eco ambassadors have been hard at work potting up their extensive number of flourishing spider plants. Collectively, they learnt how to safely repot, feed and water these plants for them to grow stronger. This is part of a project to share greenery across the school and inspire others to get green fingers. #LeadershipFromWithin #vocation @RC_Southwark @medway_council @cafodschools
We have light! The floodlights have now been added to our incredible 3G pitch to further advance the facility! This will be of huge benefit to our students, who will be able to play evening fixtures all year round, and for the local community, who will be able to let the facilities in the evenings. If you would like to hire our 3G pitch or any of our other wonderful spaces, please email: lettings@stjohnfisher.school. @medway_council_news @medwaysport @RC_Southwark @CAFODSchools

We are delighted to announce that Jacqueline in Year 12 has been awarded an Engineering Scholarship from the @TheRochesterBridgeTrust! This follows the awarding of the same scholarship to Year 13 student David O-K last year! We also supported former student George C in his application and we were delighted to hear that George was also successful!
This continues our wonderful link with RBT; our heritage display boards at the school entrance and 3G entrance (History A-Level student Jacqueline being one of the contributing students to creating the content on the boards) were funded by a grant from the RBT.
