St John XXIII Catholic College

What St John XXIII Catholic College does

St John XXIII Catholic College is a co-educational Catholic K-12 school located in Stanhope Gardens, New South Wales, Australia, operating under the Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) system. Founded in 2005, the college serves approximately 2,000 students from preschool (age 3) through Year 12, organized across four integrated learning stages: Early Learning (Ambrose Early Learning, ages 3-5), School of Foundations (Kindergarten to Year 4), School of Curiosity (Years 5-8), and School of Pathways (Years 9-12). The college employs 59 staff under Principal Frank Chiment and delivers the college's "7 C's" pedagogical framework anchored in Catholic values.

The college's product surface spans Diocesan tuition, vocational education and training (VET) courses, the School of Now tertiary-credit extension program, and the CAPTIVATE performing arts initiative, all delivered through a campus structure that unified the original primary and secondary campuses in 2022. Supporting technology includes the Compass parent portal and eLibrary (SirsiDynix) for student records and resource access, alongside a BYOD device program for senior students. International cultural exchange partnerships connect the college with schools in Japan, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Samoa.

Revenue is generated primarily through family-level fees: tiered Diocesan tuition (ranging from approximately $573 for a Kindergarten 4th-child concession to $6,729 for a Year 12 1st-child fee), resource fees, the diocesan building levy, before- and after-school care, and preschool fees from the Early Learning centre. Ancillary partnerships, including uniform supply via The School Locker and pastoral collaboration with the St John XXIII Parish, extend the operational envelope without materially altering the core tuition-driven revenue model. As a non-profit systemic Catholic school, surpluses are reinvested in facilities, curriculum, and student support rather than distributed to owners.
