Welcome to JPC Sport.

St John Paul II College (JPC) sport focuses on providing opportunities for students to engage in various sports within the school community. While the specific sports offered may vary depending on the resources, interests, and goals, JPC typically emphasises inclusivity, skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
