Welcome to St John’s College

St John’s College has a current enrolment of 950 students from Years 7 to 12 and is staffed by professional, innovative, caring, and dedicated teachers. St John’s has been established for over forty-five years on its present site and for over eighty-five years as a Catholic secondary school in Nambour. With outstanding modern facilities, St John’s College has a fine tradition of scholastic, cultural, sporting, and extracurricular success and excellence.

St John’s College is built on a foundation of high expectations, where good people, Gospel values, and positive attainment come together to create an exceptional educational experience. At St John’s College, we prioritise the happiness and safety of our students. Our dedicated and supportive community fosters an environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging and connection, is valued, and is encouraged to explore and achieve their full potential.

We believe in the power of a quality Catholic education to guide students towards becoming respectful, responsible, resilient, and compassionate individuals. Through a curriculum embedded in these principles, we inspire our students to embrace and value inclusivity, empathy, humility, kindness, stewardship, and an authentic care for others.

Our approach to learning is centred on meeting students at their stage of development and level of readiness. We understand that each child is unique, with different strengths, talents, and learning styles. Through personalised attention and a tailored curriculum, we ensure that every child receives the support they need to thrive academically and personally, enabling them to meet and exceed their individual goals and aspirations.

At St John’s College, our staff go beyond academic achievement to foster holistic development. Our comprehensive programs encompass sport, leadership, arts, music, and many extracurricular activities, enabling students to explore their interests and passions outside the classroom.

I believe that St John’s provides the best Catholic secondary schooling on the Sunshine Coast. Offering a contemporary and future-focused coeducational secondary education with an emphasis on Catholic Christian values, we prepare our students to become confident and creative individuals, successful lifelong learners, and active and informed members of an ever-changing global community.

Enrol and unlock a world of possibilities for your child’s growth and success. Join us at St John’s College and become a ‘Johnnie’ today. Together, we will work in positive partnership to shape a brighter tomorrow for your child.
