Welcome to St John’s College

An inclusive university residential college in Brisbane

Guided by Anglican tradition and shared values, our community supports students to grow, belong and reach their potential.

Our Values

St John's students at a formal dinner in the Dining Hall

We don’t want our residents to be bound by rules and regulations, we want you to be self-motivated and live according to the following values:

Respect
Respecting and caring for self, others, our community and environment.

Excellence
Striving to be the best that we can be, together and individually in all dimensions of mind, body and soul.

Community
Belonging to a close-knit community where tradition is valued, challenge is encouraged, and you are known, valued and able to thrive.

Integrity
Living our values, and having the courage to challenge behaviour that does not meet these.

Inclusion
Welcoming the diversity of people, culture, ideas, skills and experience.

Acknowledgement of Country

St John's College acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we live and learn, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge their ongoing spiritual and cultural connections to land, community and to Maiwar, the Brisbane River, on which our College now stands. We appreciate and value the interconnection of all First Nations people who visit this place.
