Amen.
Welcome from the Principal
Nau mai, haere mai. Greetings and welcome to John Paul II High School.
If you are wanting quality Catholic Education, with strong values and teachings based on Jesus Christ for years 9-13, in a co-educational environment, then John Paul II High School will be a great choice for your child.
Our school brings the best of the Mercy Sisters’ and Marist Brothers’ traditions together, and in doing so creates a wonderful caring and supportive community with the aim of enabling each student to reach their God given potential.
We have excellent academic standards and expose students to a multitude of experiences and opportunities to prepare them for a meaningful life beyond the school gate. We are able to offer a wide range of subjects, and we pride ourselves on our small classes, enabling us to provide students with more personalised attention and learning opportunities.
John Paul II High School is a great place for learning. We have much to offer. Come and join us.
