John XXIII College is a vibrant Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 Catholic Independent Co-educational College nestled in the beautiful suburb of Mount Claremont with an enrolment of 1,585 students. Our College seeks to develop people of competence, conscience and compassion who are committed to seek justice and serve others.
