When should I enrol my child?
As the Expression of Interest submission date is one of the factors considered when assessing applications, we encourage early submissions. Expressions of Interest are accepted from birth.
How do I visit the College?
We are pleased to offer private tours of the College to prospective families.
New tour dates are released each Friday during term.
Do we have to be Catholic to apply?
As a Catholic school, John XXIII College prioritises enrolment for Catholic students.
However, this is not the only factor considered when assessing applications, and we encourage non-Catholic families to submit an Expression of Interest.

Do you have feeder schools?
John XXIII College does not have feeder schools that guarantee entry to the College.
Attending a Catholic primary school is one factor that strengthens your application.
Attending a Catholic school with a preferential relationship with the College (Holy Spirit in City Beach, St Thomas in Claremont and St John's in Scarborough) will strengthen your application.
Attending a preferred school or another Catholic school does not guarantee an interview or an offer.
Do you offer places to alumni families?
Family alumni connections to John XXIII College, St Louis, or Loreto Claremont will strengthen an application, but does not guarantee an interview or offer.
Do you offer scholarships?
John XXIII College does not offer scholarships. The John XXIII College Foundation Bursary is available to eligible families based on financial need. Opportunities are advertised on the College website when applications open.
What is the waiting pool?
If a cohort is at capacity, applications are added to the waiting pool.
Places become available when families formally notify the College of their withdrawal. For this reason, we have no foresight into when or how often places will become available.
When a place becomes available, we review all applications in our waiting pool.
