St John Fisher College is a vibrant and compassionate community that promotes 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. With an appreciation for vocational experiences, our healthy academic outcomes combine to give our students the best opportunity to succeed in further education and life.
St John Fisher is a College of high expectations. Our goal is for all girls to realize their potential in a supportive and diverse learning environment, valuing each individual's dignity and integrity. We have a strong pastoral care focus, a wide variety of co-curricular activities, and 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 gifts and talents. Feeling connected, protected, and respected are critical factors in building resilience, and this is a vital 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 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.
God's spirit inspires the St John Fisher Community 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 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 right, 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.
