Welcome to JPC
Since 1982, we have built a College and a culture in which we demonstrate care for each other – for people both in and beyond our community.
As a Christian Ecumenical College founded on the motto, Unity | Christ | Learning, we remain true to these in 2023.
On a daily basis, we can see it through the interactions of students across the College as they reach out to help each other. It can be seen in our Year Twelve classmates when they visit the classes of younger students or when an older accomplished musician takes the time to play in a beginner band and encourage the younger students.
We are a unique College. To have students from more than 45 different nationalities is a remarkable reflection of the broader Australian population and I am intensely proud of our harmonious and compassionate JPC Family as we respect and nurture our multi-faith community.
We know that parent and broader family involvement in the life of each student makes a difference in the manner in which he or she integrates into school life and also has an impact on their academic outcomes. Parents who are interested and engaged in their child’s schooling, help support that young person to get the best out of their schooling journey. As a College, we want to partner with you to ensure that your child or children take full advantage of the extensive opportunities offered by the College and that they embrace the academic life of our school, with energy, focus and commitment.
We are a College that is serious about academic outcomes. Our rich and diverse co-curricular program provides a quality and balanced all-round approach to our educational offering. Our students are at the heart of all we do, and this is reflected in our purpose:
To Educate, To Inspire, To Make a Difference.
JPC creates opportunities and pathways for all students to excel, develop character and become world ready within our culturally diverse and inclusive community. We want them to be authentic young people who demonstrate responsibility and respect for others. We want to prepare them to Be The Future.
Welcome to John Paul College.
