‘Forever Excelling’

To Love, Excel, Achieve and Dream … to LEAD

All members of our community aspire to act as Christians, in accordance with our school values, every day in every way.

St John’s College is an independent co-educational Foundation to Year 12 school located adjacent to Bell Station in the Melbourne suburb of Preston.

Since our foundation in 1979 the College has provided a high standard of education to thousands of Victorian students. Our past accomplishments provide us with a strong foundation upon which we continue to offer contemporary programs that support our students to learn to adapt, respond to and thrive within the globalized world.

The College is committed to enabling our students to achieve academic success whilst also prioritising the development of the whole person. Our education programs deliver wide-ranging experiences and opportunities so that all students may pursue their interests and develop their talents.

Within our diverse and inclusive community we nurture a compassionate and resilient approach to life. We endorse a community outlook and a sense of service informed by the values and beliefs of the Orthodox Christian Church.

St John’s College acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which our school stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
