John Fisher College

[EduCativ]

St John Fisher College, a vibrant and compassionate community that promotes the values of respect, care, integrity, service, excellence and inclusiveness.​ We are a Catholic secondary girls' College with a curriculum designed to prepare girls for a changing world. Our strong academic outcomes, with appreciation for vocational experiences, combine to give our students the best opportunity to success in further education and in life.

​St John Fisher is a College of high expectations. Our goal is for all girls to realise their potential in a supportive and diverse learning environment, valuing the dignity and integrity of each individual. We have a strong pastoral care focus, a wide variety of co-curricular activities and we expect all students to become involved in College life. We encourage girls to step out of their comfort zones, be problem solvers and future focussed. We offer opportunities and experiences that will allow all girls to explore their own gifts and talents. Feeling connected, protected and respected are key factors in building resilience and this is a key part of the St John Fisher College culture.

​Our beautiful grounds and small student population mean that each student is known individually. We are proud of our extensive and evolving curriculum and of our staff who consistently display a commitment to excellence. St John Fisher has a Sisters of Mercy foundation and we are proud to nurture the girls in this way of care for others, social justice and outreach.

The St John Fisher Community is inspired by God's spirit and the Catholic faith tradition to live, to love and to learn with respect for truth, the courage to seek justice, the gift of peace and the grace to forgive as we respond with equal dynamism to society’s challenges today and tomorrow.

The holistic approach to education at St John Fisher College means that your daughter's spiritual, social, emotional and physical growth are promoted as well as her academic learning. Because our Pastoral Care program is integrated throughout the school system, the Gospel values of love, justice, peace and forgiveness are taught by example and experience. Sharing the support of a Pastoral Care teacher with a small group of other students offers your daughter an intimate, nurturing atmosphere.

The formal teaching of Religious Education in our curriculum is underpinned by the daily lived experience of Gospel values in our community. The values of love, justice, peace and forgiveness are taught by example and experience. The college chapel provides a place for regular liturgies and for private prayer and reflection. Priests from the surrounding community support the college in the regular provision of Eucharist.

College Motto "Teach me Goodness, Knowledge, Discipline" This motto calls us to strive to choose good, to continue learning about ourselves, others, the world, our God, and to take responsibility for our own life choices and to have courage and strength in making those choices.

​St John Fisher College offers an extensive and diverse co curricular program to provide additional learning opportunities to students who wish to develop special interests, skills, and talents to a higher level. In any given term, students can attend a wide array of sporting and cultural activities, both on and off campus. There are groups and activities for every interest, including art, technical theatre, dance, drama, social justice and more. In addition, there is a diverse range of music bands, ensembles, choral groups, and social and competitive sporting activities your daughter can participate in.​
