An unwavering commitment to educate and develop exceptional individuals who courageously enrich society.
We recognise that students are individuals, with individual needs. The challenge all schools face is to offer learning programs that engage students at all stages of their life. At John Paul College our teaching and learning environment offers an exceptionally broad range of opportunities that will motivate and encourage students.
We cater for all levels of ability and allow students to explore their own specific interests. In addition, students develop strong relationships with their teachers who get to know their strengths, enabling them the opportunities to be successful in their learning journey. In the Secondary School at JPC, we strive to meet these challenges.
Below are a series of videos from our Secondary School leaders and subject matter experts. Learn more about our Secondary School curriculum and experience John Paul College as our students see it.

Christian Ecumenical College
John Paul College is a Christian Ecumenical College. This means, firstly that Christ and the Christian message is at the centre of the teachings, values and principles we espouse and, secondly, that we promote Christian Unity – that is, a united witness to the Good News of Jesus. Christian Ecumenism recognises that people from different Christian faiths and traditions can work together towards greater unity while each preserves their own traditional faith and practice.
