Principal’s Message

At John Paul College we believe in the full flourishing of each student in line with our College Mission and Values: “With Him is the fullness of life” (Jn 10:10).

Our mission is to allow each person in this community to see their own worth and find opportunities to live out their own future. In a rapidly changing world, we must ensure that we remain future focussed to enable all to seek opportunities, build capabilities, and develop collaborative relationships.

The College Strategic Plan will guide our work to improve student outcomes through targeted improvement strategies and is intended to be enacted over the four-year period, 2022-2025.

The Strategic Plan was formulated as a response to the data and insights gained through the consultative processes of the College Review in 2021. The College Review provided an opportunity for the College, under the guidance of external reviewers and in line with Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) processes, to seek feedback from students, parents/ guardians and staff in the areas of Religious Dimension, Learning and Teaching, Student Wellbeing, Leadership and Management and School Community.

The opportunities for growth outlined in the Strategic Plan are our commitment to ensure that we are offering the highest quality

“Our mission is to allow each person in this community to see their own worth and find opportunities to live out their own future.” of education and support for our students and always seeking to improve. These are the core drivers that underpin student growth and development, and will be a measure for our success over the period of the plan. The Strategic Plan will be given greater depth and specific targets and practices in our Annual Action Plans.

It is important to note that a plan is only useful if it is communicated, understood, committed to, and enacted faithfully. This is our stated intent, to involve all in our school community in understanding where we are headed and to commit to work together to ensure that our words are matched by our deeds. The future is exciting, and our Strategic Plan 2022-2025 provides the pathway to success.
