M ISSION S TATEMENT
“To love Christ Jesus to love and serve the poor who are His members To show them the love of the Father, This is the charism and mission which St. Vincent and St. Jeanne Antide received from God. Through education we serve the weak and the powerless in the Vincentian tradition lived by St. Jeanne Antide.”
(Rule of the sisters of Charity)
S CHOOL V ISION
St Jeanne Antide College embraces students who come from all walks of life, and with the help of their parents they will grow into responsible Christian citizens. We support them to develop academically, emotionally, and spiritually to live a life of service to others in need. They will be of good example to others, in order to put into action love for God and love for all mankind. We follow the teachings of the Catholic Church on evolving issues such as the idea of family, or gender, and cultivate a spirit of inclusion and mercy towards all without any kind of discrimination.
S CHOOL M OTTO
At school we learn to love and love to learn.

Students will get a report if they don't come to school with the right uniform. Morning emergencies need to be covered by a note from the parents.
T RANSPORT
Transport is not organised by the school, but the same drivers operate between Gudja and Tarxien. The students will be accompanied to the back door in Carmel Street where the drivers pick them up at 13.30pm. No supervision is guaranteed for students in the case of vans running late. Parents picking up their students should do so from the school front door. If parents will be coming late, the student will wait for them at 152, Sisters' Street (convent main door). This applies as well for when there will be after school lessons or activities. There will be no transport service during the exam periods in the afternoon.

C ONSENT FORMS
Attend any outings or other activities outside the school if the given consent form is not returned signed with the money in a sealed envelope a day before the activity will take place. The parents can consult Klikks for the calendar year of activities.
A BSENTEEISM
Students who are absent for more than three days during a month need to present a medical certificate on the third day Medical certificates and marking attendance on klikks will be handled by the administration.
C OLLECTION OF MONEY
The administration will give out an envelope each term for the school contribution. In return the student will be given a receipt as a contribution to be given to the parent. In other cases, like outings, photocopy expenses, or other minor collections the student needs to deposit the money at the reception first thing in the morning. In both cases the student will need to sign on a class list next to her name as proof that the money has been handed in.
C OMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS
This is done through e-mail and the school portal Klikks. https://schoolhandle.klikks.net Students will also be given an Office 365 account with a school e- mail address to communicate with members of staff. If the parents would like to speak to a member of staff including members of the administration, preferably this should be done through an appointment. This may be done by telephone, by e- mail or by a written note. We strongly encourage the use of e-mails for any queries or difficulties.
The school also adopts a merit card system by which students are nominated for good deeds. At the end of the scholastic year the students who manage to be nominated for 5 or more merit cards will be awarded the Premju Santa Giovanna Antida on the 23rd May
New teachers will be given a username and password at the beginning of the scholastic year to be able to access their personal KLIKKS account. Teachers will also have an Office 365 account e.g., username@sja.edu.mt
