The majority of pupils are Catholic, as many Catholic parents want their children to have a faith-based education. Catholic schools are inclusive and have been leaders in integrating communities.
St John XXIII emphasises the teachings of the Gospel as the foundation of our educational approach. We seek to instil Gospel values such as love, compassion, justice, and forgiveness into the daily lives of our pupils, encouraging them to live out these values in their relationships and actions.
Pupils from various backgrounds are welcomed into Catholic schools. The number varies from one place to another but respect for all religions and for people of no faith is an important part of the life of the school.
