St John Paul II Catholic College is a dual campus co-educational, systemic Catholic, day school located in Quakers Hill and Schofields, in the City of Blacktown in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is not the same as the Terra Sancta College of Jerusalem.

Founded in 1996,[1] by Mr Quentin Evans, the college is a school of the Diocese of Parramatta.[2] It was founded as a result of the need identified by the local parish communities to establish a Catholic secondary school to serve the local parish communities and established Catholic primary school of Mary Immaculate.

The senior campus at Nirimba opened in 1998, allowing St John Paul II Catholic College to provide a continuous education for Years 7 to 12.

The school completed the vast majority of its building program in 2006 and now exists as a fully functional well resourced dual campus school. It offers a very broad education that reflects the academic, social, physical and spiritual needs and interests of students.

Notable alumni

  • Eban Hyams (born 1981), Indian-born Australian professional basketball player
