Curriculum

St John Paul II Catholic College offers a very broad education that reflects the academic, social, physical and spiritual needs and interests of students.


Our learning and teaching programs place particular emphasis on the development and enhancement of literacy and numeracy skills across all key learning areas. Gospel values permeate all areas of the curriculum, not just Religious Education, and we encourage every student to pursue individual excellence, celebrate their own successes and that of others, and respect the dignity of others.

Our Learning Enrichment Program is designed to enhance and support the formal curriculum.
