The school is located on a campus, and is a member of The Associated Schools. Overview The foundation principal was Cec Munns, who was also a member of the steering committee which had urged the Brisbane Catholic Education Office to establish a Catholic secondary school in the area. This request was denied, so the committee worked with the local Catholic, Anglican, and Uniting parishes to establish the school, which opened on Australia Day 1982 with 144 students in Years 8 and 9. John Paul College has twice been judged as one of the best ten schools in Australia in a nationwide series conducted by The Australian newspaper in both 2002 and 2003. John Paul provides group or private instrumental, vocal, dance, and drama lessons on a weekly basis. Organization The College comprises three schools: Primary school is broken down into an additional three schools: Early Learning (childcare, kindergarten and prep) Junior Primary (Years 1, 2 and 3) Senior Primary (Years 4, 5 and 6) History The college was founded through the collaborative efforts of four clergymen from three different denominations: Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Uniting.

Father Leo Burke was the founding Catholic parish priest of St Edward's, Daisy Hill and remains involved with the college to this day as its patron. Another ecumenist, Patrick Doulin, was parish priest of St Mark's Anglican community, Slacks Creek, and the official representative of the Anglican hierarchy. Reverend Bryan Gilmour, the pastor of
