JMSS Students Talking And Smiling Inside School

We offer a wide range of support for all students.

Students have access to a broad support network including mentors, Mental Health Practitioner, School Counsellors, Careers Counselling, Learning Support and other members of a Wellbeing Team led by our Assistant Principal. All teams work to develop positive relationships with the students and their families, and monitor and support student wellbeing, both in and out of the classroom.

Transition Program.

A successful and enjoyable transition to school will allow your child to jump into JMSS with confidence.  Our extensive transition program allows your child to become familiar with the school from early in the year and provides a range of experiences so you and your child are ready for their first days as a JMSS student.

All students in Year 10 will have access to a range of opportunities to enhance their own academic, social and emotional development. This includes:

  • Development of personalised learning plans with House Mentors in our ‘Learn To’ subject;
  • Careers and Pathways;
  • Student Leadership Program – Student Parliament and Interact Club;
  • Co-curricular programs which include more than 25 activities such as Languages Other Than English (LOTE), Sport, Music, Art and Dance;
  • Work Experience opportunities in science-related industries or organisations;
  • Extracurricular activities such as debating competitions, International Student Science Fairs and Supercomputing conventions.
