When students, staff and families join our school they become part of that community and are encouraged to make a valid contribution throughout their time with us as part of the John Mason Association ( JMA). Students are given the opportunity to serve the school community as language leaders, junior sports leaders, reading buddies, supporting musicians and peer mentors. John Mason offers regular family learning events for the local community, such as father and son cookery and art workshops open to all.
