We are excited to welcome you to our boutique Boarding Village, nestled in native bushland, located adjacent to the main College campus.
At John Paul College, our residential life is underpinned by three essential programs, including academic enrichment, pastoral and leadership development, and lifestyle. Each of these programs provides a holistic approach to the development of each individual Boarder.
As part of your orientation into boarding life at JPC, our Head of Boarding and Senior Boarding Staff will provide a personalised orientation program for new students. Details prior to your arrival will be sent to prepare for your arrival at the commencement of the term.
We are a family here at Fenton Village, and many boarders form lifelong friendships with each other that extend beyond school. Whether they are playing basketball on the court, chatting with friends or roasting marshmallows around the campfire, our boarders genuinely love their experience at JPC and we can’t wait to welcome you on campus.

It is unusual for the College to organise travel for boarders, except in special circumstances. Boarders' travel plans must be made well in advance so travel can occur on the designated Boarder Travel Day.
Boarders will not be permitted to leave early or return late unless there is an unavoidable circumstance in which the Head of Boarding is made aware in advance so that the relevant Head of School can be informed.
