Go for good education, be wary of discrimination.
At this school, students frequently experience racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and overall harassment. The dress code is overly strict and discriminatory. For instance, students can receive detentions for minor infractions like wearing plain white socks without the SJC logo, having a necklace on, or being just one minute late to class after walking across the school from their locker. They even suggest giving up break time to avoid being late. I have witnessed a teacher discussing how "weird" transgender students are while a transgender student was present in our class. Slurs, including the N-word and the F-word, are used casually, and teachers often show favoritism. On a positive note, the tuckshop offers good food, and the facilities are nice.

Unreasonable
In the beginning the school started off the same as any other schools with regular rules such as no excess jewelry and if you were caught with it you would be told to take it off. Now the school has gone as far to give the students a lunch time detention without warning for even wearing socks that don't have the school logo on it even if they are plain white with no other logo. this new system is affecting peoples time to study and socialize with their friends which they claim is important. I un...

This school is not worth it.
This school is outdated and seems to care more about outside appearance rather than the quality of their education. Unnecessary uniform requirements between teachers and students causes arguments and tension. It should really not be an issue to have a few extra earrings or one necklace. Not to mention, the new disciplinary system is out of hand. Being late a minute or wearing the sports uniform instead of formal results in detentions, where probably about 100 kids a day (total of both breaks) ar...

St John's nambour
A teacher failed my daughter over a decimal point that was there. He never taught properly and talked about his vegan girlfriend too much (they broke up 10 year before). A student sexually harassed her and got away with so much because he had adhd. It was an on going issue that had been reports so many times and he only stayed away when he got a year 7 pregnant when he was in year 9. nothing happened to him and still goes to the school. Teachers like to call out kids in the middle of class about bad work even if they have issue with their learning. They are always pushing for kids to do year 12 and do something for the school. The uniform policies are too much, I don't care if they have a necklace or two earrings on I care that my child is getting the education she deserves.

St John’s College
The whole uniform policy peircings, hair colours, socks and jewellery is focused on way too much, and create unnecessary friction between students and the school/school staff. The principle and other high up staff are out of touch with their students, and are more focused on the outside appearance of the school rather than education. They shut down students that try to speak their mind about them, and the staff 100% show favouritism towards certain groups of students (probably because half of t...
