    ABOUT John Paul College

    Sport at John Paul College (JPC) is more than just a game – it's a cornerstone of our students' growth, resilience, and ambition. From the first whistle to the final siren, every match, training session, and team huddle shapes confident, capable young people ready to take on the world.

    JPC has a proud history of nurturing talent that excels on national and international stages. Our alumni include:

    • Kristy Wallace (2013): Professional basketball player with the Australian Opals and 2024 Olympian.
    • Madeline Colebrook (née McAuliffe) (2012): Former professional netballer with the Sunshine Coast Lightning.
    • Genevieve Gregson (née LaCaze) (2007): A four-time Olympian in athletics, holding the Australian record in the 3000m steeplechase and recently achieving the third-fastest marathon time by an Australian woman.
    • Sung Yueng David Ki (PY 2006): Professional football player with FC Seoul, former English Premier League footballer and 2012 South Korean Olympian.
    • Fletcher Dyson (1990): Rugby union player with 10 caps for the Australian Wallabies and 51 caps for the Queensland Reds.

    These distinguished alumni exemplify the spirit of dedication and excellence that JPC instils in its students. Their accomplishments inspire current students to pursue greatness in their respective sporting endeavours.

    Our students don’t just play; they lead, persevere, and inspire. Whether on the athletics track, the rugby field, or the basketball court, they learn to push boundaries, support one another, and chase excellence. This is the spirit of JPC sport, so we are asking for your support.

    We’ve launched a new fundraising campaign through the Australian Sports Foundation to ensure every student can access the right equipment, coaching, and training environments to thrive. Your donation will help us provide:

    • High-quality equipment
    • Specialist coaching and development programs
    • Enhanced training facilities and recovery resources
    • Mentorship and leadership development opportunities.

    Every contribution, big or small, helps us remove barriers and open doors for our athletes, from beginners discovering their passion to elite competitors pursuing representative honours.

    At JPC, we believe in igniting ambition. With your help, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to grow through sport, build lifelong skills, and realise their full potential.
