Why choose John Paul II High School?
In recent years, our parents of Year 9 students (both preference and non-preference) were asked to tell us why they chose our school to provide a secondary education for their children; these were their responses:
- Reputation of the past
- Standing in the community
- Smallness of the school
- Special Character
- Size of classes
- Pupil to teacher ratio
- Feedback of excellent teaching
- Friendships throughout school life and beyond
- Previous family members have attended
- It is a Catholic school
- A lot of stable two parent families
- Boys had a great time here
- Smaller school and closer relationship between pupils and teachers
- Old Marist Boy/St Mary’s Girl
- Very good academic record
- Teachers have more contact with students
- Older sons recommendation based upon students’ attitudes
- Better education in a Catholic School
- Achieving in smaller classes, values learnt here and personal experience
- Old John Paul II High School Boy/Girl
- Time spent on students

- New Year 9’s integrate quickly into this school
