Welcome to St John’s College. We are a learning community within which our families and staff know one another and work together to support our students on their journey from children to independent young adults. Our goal is to support our students to achieve ‘philotimo’: to walk the right path in life. We work together to support our students’ growth by setting high expectations, providing personalised learning opportunities and prioritising pastoral care. Our College is a learning environment within which each young person is respected for who they are as individuals. We are a family friendly, co-educational Prep to Year 12 school. Everyone belongs at St John's College. Together with our wonderful students, parents and staff, I warmly invite you to come and explore all that St. John's College has to offer.

Philotimo - to Love, to Excel, to Achieve and to Dream. Philotimo is considered to be the highest of all virtues in Greek culture. The core concept is that of respect and walking the right path, with a sense of duty, courage, compassion and generosity. In its simplest form, philotimo means doing good.
Our vision is to educate the whole person, academically, socially and morally. To foster a love of learning, an appreciation of the Hellenic culture and live the Christian values of love, kindness, responsibility and humility.
