John Paul College is a Christian ecumenical school on a 33-hectare campus in the Logan City region. Established in 1982, the school has a proud academic, sporting and performing arts tradition. Amenities include five sporting ovals, an indoor sports centre with two multipurpose courts and a gym and an aquatic centre with a 10-lane, 25-metre pool. Almost half of the students are involved in the performing arts and John Paul College has more than 60 ensembles and activities across instrumental, choral, drama, cheer and dance. Facilities include a performing arts centre with a concert auditorium, a dance studio, private rehearsal rooms for group and individual instrumental and vocal lessons, drama studios and classrooms for academic music lessons. There’s also a 250-seat theatre for shows.

Almost 15 per cent of the enrolment is from overseas and many of these students live in home stays arranged by the school with the students’ families and local community members. A small proportion of country and interstate students also choose the home-stay option.

John Paul College delivers a contemporary co-educational curriculum grounded in traditional values from Early Learning to Year Twelve. 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.
