John Paul College

We love Mr Riddle! Live laugh love Mrs Hershaft, Miss Bell deserves the world she is a sweetheart.

Instead of running around the school busting people for wearing incorrect socks how about you concentrate on career paths for the students futures.
I have never come across such a difficult school college circus to deal with.
You have these young adult's for the most important years of their lifetime, would it be better for them to remember the term guidance, aptitude, rather than the wrong socks, when they might reflect upon the time at this college?
Something needs to change for the benefit of the students and future leaders.

Used to be bad. They're cleaning up their act kind of, but they're incapable of controlling their kids. There's still a large drug problem, although bullying and harrasment is almost completely gone. Not challenging. Support for students is a little decent, I guess. They waste time a lot. Wouldn't recommend.

It appears the school has ousted the previous principal that was in charge 2010-2015 that was a complete waste of space and was only there for their own personal gain, and the school seems to be cleaning it's act up. Unfortunately, I had a rough experience with a lack of support for mental health, and fell through the cracks very quickly. A school of nearly 1000 students needs more than one counsellor and apathetic "support" staff. If you're looking for a supportive environment for your teenager, this isn't it.

I went to this school for 4 years and changed due to the bullying being so excessive. It was the worst 4 years of my life. I laugh when people say your school days were your best years. I'm 30 now I can say they were by far my worst. I remember being verbally insulted, having things thrown at my head on the school bus, on a daily basis.
Years later I met a kid on the public bus because the same thing was still happening.

I attended John Paul College as a past student in 2019- 2021. My experience at John Paul College was overall alright.

The education at John Paul college I found was pretty good the teachers were really helpful and supportive, regardless if you were academic or not, however some of the work was very overwhelming and the teachers expect the students to have a high standards towards there learning, everyone would have between 30-35 assignments per semester, on top of that we had textbooks, homework, other class work.which was full on at times, spent most of my time at home most days after school and most weekends just learning and completing tasks just to manage to pass school, besides that I have nothing to complain about towards there education.

However mentally i have to say that about time I say this since I've left John Paul college but they don't care about students wellbeing, I'll use my experience I had an issue with someone that led to a massive issue involving multiple year levels, because it became too big of an issue and it was too hard for the teachers to figure out there coward behaviour or the teachers knew that they were in the wrong, but all they will do is pull them up, have a talk, talk to parents and goes on in circles.so i developed major anxiety where some days I wouldn't attend school, I wouldn't want to be around in big meetings with major year level, I would hide at back of buildings away from people, and I would leave class sometimes and have anxiety attacks in the bathroom. I developed trauma and bit of depression. It got to a point where I had to tell my teachers about how much it affected me, so I told them, there wasn't much they could do about it, all they suggested was for me to get coucling. It got to a point where i had to leave Jpc, because it started affecting my education. I'm not the only one who has been in a similar position, its pretty bad considering its a semi private school and you pay extra money to go to that school. At my new school they deal with things heaps better they John Paul did, if someone even threats to jump someone and dont even lay hands on them at my new school they get suspended straight away at John Paul college there are no suspensions just a talk, even if you do get jumped outside of school it's still the same just at talk, they only care when you get jumped in school. At my new school if it's outside of school or in, you get a suspension regardless. I realised John Paul is slack and they could of done alot more, and no matter what it is all they do is have talks with the students and parents sometimes depends if it's something dangerous really.

At times the students felt like they care more about uniform then them. They would suspended like a huge number of people for vapeing straight away, and make "vapeing" the priority and there uniform policy.

Also I have to say that the staff in the student services are extremely rude, one time I missed few days off school because I was struggling with keeping up with work and they turned around and said to me not good enough, seems like you aren't trying enough to your education, wonder why you are falling behind. Like everytime I even go to student services they are always unhappy, like if they don't like there job why me there, don't need to take it out on the students.
That's all I have to say about my opinion on Jpc

Amazing.great school I’m so greatly appreciated for all the work hard they're dedicated to all students
I cannot imagine my girls' school somewhere else. Deep in my heart
Thank you!

A pretty good school I must say. Teachers respect their students and have a sense of caring for them. Sometimes there is a conflict but mostly is controlled which is a benefit for those who want to be in a safe environment.
Whether or not your child is religious, it is a good school to consider sending your child if they are just graduating primary school or moving to a different school. Lots of opportunities to try out for people with different hobbies.

We were given the opportunity to take a school tour, and must say I have never seen a secondary school with so many opportunities for students.
The grounds and classrooms were very clean and updated on every level.
The attention to detail that Mrs Joanne. S gave regarding the tour and this college is in my opinion, a hi level learning opportunity giving parents full confidence that their children will learn lifelong skills without limits.
The school Principle seems on track of what this college stands for
From (Sports, Drama, IT, Music, Robotics, Media) what I saw, any student will have exposure to develop their lifelong ambition.
This college is a positive outlook giving confidence to parents of a great future for students to explore.

Got bullied constantly when I went there, not a good school for introverts.

Especially on the school buses, if I had young men throwing apples or small hard objects at my head now I would be taking legal action.

I went to this school for four years. Along with my two brothers. Don't send your kids here unless you want them to turn into junkies or criminals. The school has had a large drug problem for along time.

I am a student currently going to JPC I am deeply annoyed. We had our year 8 exams recently. I chose the correct answer (probability of getting a FACTOR of 6). I chose 2/3 and I was wrong supposedly. Everyone who chose 1/6 was right. My bad. Disappointed.
