“With Him is the Fullness of Life” Jn 10:10 Our motto is our vision - the commitment to ensure every member of our community is empowered to achieve success, act with integrity and contribute to the common good - Christian discipleship for a just world. Our College has a rich heritage in the tradition of the fcJ sisters and the Marianist order. These women and men were instrumental in establishing a community inspired by faith in the good news of Jesus. We are inspired to continue the journey of faith and are nurtured by the charisms of these two orders. John Paul College provides a comprehensive secondary education in a Catholic environment. It is a place where students feel safe and that they belong, a place where students’ individual strengths are nurtured and developed and a place where faith and a sense of community are fundamental to who we are. This is how we live out our mission: With Him is the fullness of life. A John Paul College person knows who they are and what they intend to contribute to their community and the world. Our community welcomes students and their families from the parishes and communities of the greater Frankston region. We believe every student’s success is grounded in quality learning and teaching, and a school culture that fosters wellbeing, promotes resilience and inspires faith in action.

This profound act of religious dialogue is a powerful reminder of the importance of interfaith understanding in promoting global peace.

Our school community is enriched by its diversity, and we celebrate the many cultural and religious backgrounds represented. Our motto, "With Him is the fullness of life," calls us to be agents of peace, compassion, and unity, both in our daily interactions and online.
