Welcome to Prep at JPC

To assist families in navigating around the campus, the College has created maps outlining the location of all buildings and areas of interest. Click to access the College Map or Primary Precinct Map.

Parents and guardians of Primary School students are asked to use the Chatswood Car Park for student drop-off and collection each day. This car park has been specifically designed with student safety in mind and to ensure the traffic flows smoothly. Cars must park in an allocated parking space to drop-off or pick-up a student. Stopping to allow children to alight from, or climb into, vehicles places children in danger and is not permitted. The Chatswood  and Markwell Car Parks will be extremely congested in the first weeks of each term and your patience and adherence to road safety rules are sought.

As part of our holistic approach to education at John Paul College, we offer a diverse range of co-curricular activities to our students.

Information in relation to registration for all sports and activities will become available prior to the beginning of each term. We have a strong emphasis on participation, but some sports may require students to attend ‘trials’ in circumstances where there are limited places available for registration. To ensure the process is consistent and fair to all new and existing students, this information is forwarded to all parents prior to each term and notices are placed in MyJPC. If you require any further clarity or information, please send your enquiries to sport@jpc.qld.edu.au to ensure we direct your questions to the appropriate staff.

For new students wanting to join various performing arts ensembles and groups, auditions will be available on request. Parents wishing to learn more about our Performing Arts Program are encouraged to contact their office on 07 3826 3383 to speak with a program co-ordinator.

If your child is interested in taking up private or group music lessons, parents will be required to complete a Performing Arts Enrolment Form (New students - click here; Current JPC students - click here). Information regarding co-curricular ensemble options for students can be found in the Performing Arts Handbook.

We understand some new Primary students may not have access to their current Outside of School Hours Care provider once they have withdrawn. With this in mind, John Paul College allows families of new students from Kindergarten upwards to make use of the College Vacation Care Program. Attending our program will give your child the opportunity to start meeting new friends and familiarising themselves with the campus before their first official day.

If you wish to make use of the Vacation Care Program at the College during the current holidays, please complete the online enrolment form via the MyXplor link. Online Bookings using the MyXplor platform are essential. For assistance, please email oshc@jpc.qld.edu.au.

Your family ID number is also your username for the Cashless Canteen. Your initial login password is CanTeen. This is a temporary password and will need to be reset once you have successfully logged in for the first time. To access the Cashless Canteen system, log in to the MyJPC dashboard and click on “Canteen Online Orders”. If you need assistance with setting up or accessing the Cashless Canteen through My Student Account (MSA), please contact our Finance team for support.

Tuck shop must be ordered online for Prep to Year 3 students through the My Student Account (MSA) portal and students in Years 4 to 12 can access the tuck shop directly.
