For parents searching for the right school for their child, we understand there are many important factors which contribute to your decision. The key features of our College which are rated favourable by our community are:
Small School, Big Opportunities
St John’s is the ideal size where students have access to an abundance of learning opportunities, facilities, experienced educators but they are not lost in the crowd. We recognise and value every student as an individual with an understanding that their personality, contribution and unique sense of perspective brings a richness to our school community.
Co-educational
St John’s students are experiencing the real world, benefiting from both male and female mentors and understanding the impact both genders create when interacting together. So much is gained from having our students learn side-by-side, working collaboratively and respectfully, exchanging ideas and succeeding together.
Balanced Education
St John’s prides itself on the breadth and quality of its extra and co-curricular programs in the performing arts and sporting arenas. Education isn’t just about teaching content in the classroom but about preparing young minds for the challenges of the real world.
