Welcome to John XXIII College
Excellence in Co-Education
Welcome to the John XXIII College website where we offer you a glimpse of what our College has to offer for your child's education.
Our vision at John XXIII College is for all students to strive for excellence for themselves, their peers and their community. We encourage all students to be passionate about their educational journey and courageous as they embrace the inevitable challenges that come with deep understanding. A well-educated student should know they can make a difference both locally and globally.
It is my view that we come to school to be more than we are; we attend lessons to strive for understanding in a complex world; we play sport, we row, we swim, we run to push ourselves beyond what we know we can already do; we perform on stage to defeat the fears that hold us back; we paint and play music to discover beauty; and we seek at Mass, communion that is infinitely greater than ourselves.
Effort in these domains makes for a great education: it is intellectual, physical, cultural, social and spiritual in its dimensions. I am delighted to be able to lead a school in which all these facets of an education are so highly valued.
Today's students are accomplished digital learners, but it is a John XXIII education that will empower our students to become true media-literate world citizens as they research, analyse, synthesise, critique and evaluate their way in the 21st and 22nd centuries.
A John XXIII College education addresses the needs of the whole child and is not limited to curriculum design purely centred on workplace readiness. Rather, a John XXIII education prepares students for the challenges of life; as each student flourishes in their own way, they do so with the support, strength and confidence instilled in them as John XXIII students.
We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your child's education. Please call (08) 9383 0400 for a tour of our magnificent campus in Mount Claremont.
