About
John XXIII College

Where Ignatian tradition meets contemporary education – John XXIII College develops students of competence, conscience, and compassion from Pre-Kindergarten through Year 12. Our Catholic co-educational community balances academic excellence with character formation, preparing students not just for further studies, but for lives of purpose and service.

Welcome to John XXIII College

One of Australia's leading Catholic independent schools

Located on an expansive 24.6-hectare campus in Mount Claremont, our College offers a distinctive educational experience that extends far beyond academic achievement.

We embrace the Ignatian understanding that true education addresses the development of the whole person. From Pre-Kindergarten through Year 12, students grow in competence, conscience, and compassion within a community that balances intellectual rigour with ethical formation.

Our approach, cura personalis – care for the whole person – ensures every student is known, valued, and supported throughout their educational journey. We celebrate diversity, encourage curiosity and resilience, and provide opportunities for young people to discover their unique gifts within a safe, supportive environment. Guided by our motto Seek Justice and inspired by the rich traditions of the Jesuits and Loreto Sisters, we empower students to become people for others and lead lives of purpose and integrity.
