Set on 33 hectares in Daisy Hill, our campus offers outstanding facilities and a supportive environment where you can bring your ideas to life.

• Design impactful programs: Create innovative, developmentally rich programs grounded in My Time, Our Place and John Paul College's values that engage families and foster children's growth
• Lead operational excellence: Manage enrolments, rostering, budgeting, and compliance with confidence, knowing you're meeting the highest NQF and ACECQA standards
• Build community: Develop genuine connections with children, families, and staff that create a sense of belonging
• Drive improvement: Champion the Quality Improvement Plan and foster a culture of continuous development aligned with best practice in OSHC
