St John Paul II College is a Catholic co-educational College located in Nicholls, in the Gungahlin region of Canberra. Founded in 2013, the College opened its doors to its first cohort of Year 7 students and has since grown into a thriving school community. As we enter our tenth year, we are proud to be pioneers of a pre-school to college Catholic pathway in Gungahlin, working alongside Good Shepherd Amaroo, Holy Spirit Nicholls, and Mother Teresa Harrison.
The College prides itself on being a welcoming and inclusive learning community, embracing the principles of twenty-first century education. We combine state-of-the-art technology with innovative teaching methods to foster adaptability, personal resilience, and a love for lifelong learning. Our dedicated staff work closely with families to create personalised pathways for each student, taking into account their individual learning styles and needs. We follow the Australian curriculum while also nurturing individual passions and talents, cultivating a community of curious minds.
To ensure personalised support, Mentor Teachers are assigned to each student, providing a consistent point of contact for families and serving as a source of guidance throughout their learning journey. Our beautiful and modern campus reflects a commitment to excellence in education, incorporating smart design principles. As a Catholic school, we prioritise the holistic development of every student, fostering wisdom, self-knowledge, and academic achievement. We believe in working together for the common good and instilling a sense of belonging and self-worth in each individual.
Close ties with Holy Spirit parish, Gungahlin's three Catholic primary schools, and other Catholic secondary colleges enrich our school community. The diversity and enthusiasm of our school family serve as a wonderful example of what education in the twenty-first century can be. The Principal, Mrs Catherine Rey, looks forward to building the future of St John Paul II College in collaboration with students, families, and the wider Canberra community.
