7 至 12 年級
澳洲大學以 ATAR 成績錄取學生。2025 年本校的 ATAR 中位數創歷年最佳，超過半數畢業生進入全州前 10%；在同一座校園裡，小學階段的 NAPLAN 各科成績也全數高於昆士蘭州平均。
查看完整成績與 2020 年以來的歷年紀錄ATAR（澳洲高等教育錄取排名）是澳洲大學錄取學生所採用的分數，範圍為 0 至 99.95。國際學生與本地學生修讀相同科目，並參加相同的校外統一考試。以上百分比以已知具 ATAR 資格的 12 年級學生群為基數。 什麼是 ATAR？
這是 2026 年 3 年級與 5 年級全部五科的成績。學生皆以第二語言應考，且無任何學生退出或獲得豁免。

全澳洲 3、5、7、9 年級的學生都在同一天應考 NAPLAN，因此各校成績具備直接比較的基礎。 查看完整 NAPLAN 數據
位於 Daisy Hill 的 33 公頃校園，匯聚來自45 個以上國家的學生。體育、音樂、科學設施與游泳池都在教室步行可達之處，不需另外搭車、不需額外付費，孩子也不必在這些活動之間取捨。
自 2004 年以來獲得五項全國獎項：IDP Award（本校是史上首間獲此獎項的學校）、2018 年 NEAS Gold Standard、2021 與 2022 年 NEAS 全國獎項，以及 2024 年澳洲教育大獎的殊榮。
查看我們的獲獎紀錄本校中學部採用澳洲國家課程，隨後銜接昆士蘭教育證書(QCE)，以及升讀大學所需的澳洲高等教育錄取排名(ATAR)。小學部則實施國際文憑(IB)小學課程(PYP)。
查看課程總覽高中預備課程由本校自有的語言專業教師授課，上課地點就在孩子未來畢業的同一座校園，並非委外給獨立的語言學校。
了解課程如何運作Stephen Paul Aquatic Centre 水上運動中心、Stephen Bean Theatre 劇院、Stephen Bowers Oval 運動場、科學中心、舞蹈教室，以及 Noelene Munns Learning Centre 學習中心，全部都在校門之內。
查看校園地圖四個學期合計提供13 項以上校際運動，並設有High Performance Academy，協助有志於州級與全國代表隊的學生持續發展。
查看體育課程屢獲殊榮的表演藝術課程，包含管樂團、弦樂團、合唱團與室內樂小組，課程可延續至 12 年級；此外還有辯論、戲劇與學生領導培訓。
查看音樂課程9 至 10 年級是探索的階段，11 至 12 年級則是展現實力的階段。在 9 或 10 年級入學，孩子會有兩年時間發掘自己的優勢、規劃職涯方向，再進入高中課程。
約翰保羅學校的 9 至 10 年級，是專為探索而設計的階段。學生廣泛修習各類科目，發掘自己的專長，並開始選擇專精方向。在教師與職涯輔導團隊的協助下，每位學生都會擬定一份青少年教育與訓練計畫(JETPlan)，因此在進入 11 年級時，已對自己的職涯方向有清楚的規劃。本校的正向教育架構 JPC SOARING Tree 同步推展，協助學生認識自身優勢、設定目標，並在課業遇到困難時堅持下去。這兩年也是學生建立友誼、累積自信的時期，而這正是求學歷程中最重要的一部分。
這條路徑的每一個階段都經過規劃，孩子在每一步都能獲得支持。唯一長度不固定的是英語預備階段，因為它是依孩子的程度安排，而非依固定時程。
台灣的學年於 6 月底結束，孩子在此時完成國中三年級的學業。
孩子在本校第三學期入學時抵達布里斯本，安頓於寄宿家庭或學校宿舍，並由國際學生團隊陪伴度過第一週。
10 年級是探索的一年。孩子進入 JPC 主流班級，廣泛修習各類科目；在教師與職涯輔導團隊的協助下擬定 JETPlan，並透過 SOARING Tree 培養相應的自信。高中階段的選修科目在這一年結束時決定。
找出孩子的起點這是一套為期兩年的完整課程，通往昆士蘭教育證書(QCE)與 ATAR，並提供高中階段的導師輔導與職涯諮詢。
昆士蘭教育證書(QCE)與 ATAR 受到澳洲及世界各地大學的認可，為每一位約翰保羅學校的畢業生開啟廣闊的機會。
英語程度已達本校標準的學生可直接進入主流班級。本校每年有四次入學時段，分別在 1 月、4 月、7 月與 10 月，因此 6 月完成學業並不是唯一的入學時機。本校不接受 12 年級插班：該年級的評量涵蓋整個學年，無法中途加入。
學生先就讀與自身英語程度相符的預備課程。完成預備課程後，即可進入約翰保羅學校小學部或中學部的正規班級。在 11 至 12 年級的高中階段，學生致力於取得優異的 ATAR 成績，也就是澳洲大學錄取學生所採用的分數。許多畢業生後來進入澳洲及海外的頂尖大學。 歡迎瀏覽以下路徑，找出最適合孩子的一條。
台灣的年級與本校的年級可直接對照。唯一的例外是 12 年級，由於 11 與 12 年級屬於同一套為期兩年的課程，學生無法中途插班。
| 在台灣 | 在約翰保羅學校 | 入學年齡 |
|---|---|---|
| 國小一至六年級 | 1 年級至 6 年級 | 6 – 11 |
| 國中一至三年級 | 7 年級至 9 年級 | 12 – 14 |
| 高中一年級 | 10 年級 | 15 |
| 高中二年級 | 11 年級 | 16 |
本表僅供參考，孩子最終就讀的年級由招生處依其在校成績單確認。1 年級之前的學前班開放給年滿五歲的兒童就讀；入讀 4 至 6 年級的學生則可透過小學預備課程獲得支持。詳見小學部。
孩子在同一座校園開始學習，由本校自己的教師授課，準備好之後即轉入主流班級。Venus 就是循著這條路徑，最終取得 ATAR 99.25 的成績。
透過預備課程路徑申請的家庭，無需提供 IELTS、AEAS 或 Cambridge 的考試成績。只要提供孩子的在校成績單，本校教師即會直接評估其英語程度。
查看入學條件課程共分五級，從英語基礎一路銜接到學術英語程度，全部由本校的語言專業教師授課。在澳洲，只有極少數學校是在自己的校園內提供這樣的課程，而非委由獨立的語言學校辦理。
了解高中預備課程這取決於孩子入學時的英語程度。學生準備好即可升上下一級，而非依固定時程前進。在您做出任何決定之前，本校會依孩子的在校成績單提供一份合理的時間評估。
規劃入學時間Venus 於 2022 年從香港來到本校，在約翰保羅國際學校從中級英語開始就讀，之後進入 9 年級，並於 2025 年以 ATAR 99.25 畢業。預備課程並不是一條次等的入學途徑。
閱讀 Venus 的故事從孩子抵達布里斯本的那一刻起，本校的國際學生團隊便全程陪伴。他們清楚可以向誰求助，緊急狀況也有 24 小時緊急聯絡專線可撥打。以下是一天的校園作息，從早到晚，讓您了解每個時段有誰陪在孩子身邊。
所有未滿 18 歲的國際學生，在學生簽證的整個效期內都必須具備經核可的福利照顧安排， 而約翰保羅學校即提供這樣的安排。孩子的照顧事宜由學校規劃並監督， 不需要您在台灣自行張羅。
您可以逐一瀏覽每個時段，也可以按下播放。這是一個平常的週二，從起床到熄燈，其中包含課後延長日項目：在課程結束後繼續陪伴孩子，提供課業輔導、社群晚餐，以及到家的接送服務。
日出
住宿生在 Fenton Village 的雙人房醒來，步行不久即可抵達教室。寄宿家庭的學生則在自己的房間醒來，住在經學校審核並核可的當地家庭中。
無論選擇哪一種住宿方式，孩子都有明確指定的專責人員，並可撥打 24 小時緊急聯絡專線。
上課前
游泳隊約自上午 6:30開始訓練，音樂班學生練習樂器，運動隊伍進行暖身。也有許多學生只是提早到校與朋友相聚。
一項孩子自己選擇的運動、樂器或活動，往往是他們日後記得最深的部分，也是自信的起點。
上午 8:20
一天從導師時間開始，那是一個全年由同一位教師帶領的小班。對剛入學的國際學生而言，這位教師是最早認識他們的人，也是他們最先可以請教任何問題的人。
在這裡，孩子是被認識的。有一位教師負責掌握他們每週的狀況；孩子也清楚國際學生團隊的辦公室在哪裡，無需預約即可前往。
上午
國際學生與其他所有學生一同修習澳洲國家課程，授課教師長年具備與海外學生一起上課的經驗。
這是英語進步最快的方式，因為孩子整天在每一門課中都在使用英語，而不只是在英語課上。
中午
在昆士蘭的氣候裡，一年之中大部分時間都能在運動場與球場上活動。33 公頃的校園代表永遠有空間，也永遠有一場已經開打的比賽。
友誼往往是在午休時間建立的，而不是在課堂上。有足夠的活動空間，新生才能找到自己的位置。
下午 3:15
從這時起，孩子可以從四個學期合計13 項以上的校際運動、六個由學生主導的社團，或表演藝術課程（管樂團、管弦樂團、合唱團與室內樂小組）之中選擇。
在這裡，新生不再只是「剛來的學生」，而成為團隊的一員。
課後
課後延長日項目提供課業輔導、導師陪伴與身心健康工作坊。因此下午 3:15 之後，孩子仍留在校園裡，由本校教職員陪伴，直到下午 5:00。
此項目已包含在 Premium Homestay 之中，其他學生則可自由選擇參加。
傍晚
週二與週四有與教職員共進的社群晚餐，也可以在宿舍餐廳一同用餐，接著是有人監督的自習時間。7 至 9 年級的學生在教室一起自習，10 至 12 年級則在自己的房間或公共區域自習。
沒有任何學生需要獨自以第二語言應付作業。
就寢
睡前可以和其他住宿生，或與寄宿家庭一起放鬆。布里斯本比台北早兩小時，因此孩子晚餐後打電話回家，正好是您用晚餐的時候。
台灣與昆士蘭都不實施日光節約時間，因此這兩小時的時差全年不變。
每一次安置都包含經審核的當地家庭、完整的照顧計畫，以及 24 小時緊急聯絡專線。許多寄宿家庭方案只提供住宿與餐食，本校提供的是有規劃的照顧。
了解 Premium Homestay校園內的精緻住宿社群，配有專責的宿舍教職員與有人監督的自習時間，所有設施距離教室都只有短短的步行距離。
了解學校宿舍每一種住宿安排都依循同一套關懷模式：連結、成就、尊重、賦能。孩子有明確指定的專責人員，並可撥打 24 小時緊急聯絡專線。
比較兩種住宿安排如果您希望在孩子就學期間陪同住在布里斯本，可由一位家長前來。孩子持學生簽證，您持學生監護人簽證。本校已有穩定的監護家長社群，而以下這些區域正是他們大多居住的地方。
簽證核發與否由澳洲內政部決定，並非由本校決定，相關規定也會不時調整。以上內容僅供初步了解，並非正式建議；在您提出申請之前，本校國際學生團隊會依孩子的年齡與您家庭的情況，確認適用的規定。
無論您是來訪一週，或是為了孩子的求學階段搬來此地，接下來的問題通常都一樣：我們可以住在哪裡？約翰保羅學校位於布里斯本南緣的 Daisy Hill。以下所有地區距離校門都約在三十分鐘以內，其中包括 Sunnybank：布里斯本台灣人生活的中心，有台式餐廳、烘焙坊與雜貨店。
Tap a numbered pin — or its row in the list — to see what is there.
The nearest suburb to the campus, and the one our staff most often suggest as a starting point. Everything a family needs day to day is here, and the journey to school is very short.
A settled residential suburb, sitting between the school and the Sunnybank side of the corridor. It is a common choice for families who want a short school run and easy access to Asian grocers and restaurants.
The newest housing in the area, built as planned estates rather than grown over decades. Families who want a modern house with a garden, close to the school, tend to look here first.
A full regional shopping centre, where families do the weekly shopping, arrange a phone plan and see a film, all in one visit.
One of the most international suburbs in Brisbane — more than half of its residents were born overseas — and the natural halfway point between the school and Sunnybank. Families who want a short school run and the Asian grocers close by tend to look here.
Immediately next to Sunnybank, and popular with families who want to be close to that community without being in the middle of it. A quieter, more residential street pattern.
Westfield Garden City at Mount Gravatt is the largest shopping centre on Brisbane’s south side. Most families in this part of the city come here for anything they cannot buy locally.
The centre of Taiwanese life in Brisbane, and the reason many families tell us the move felt easier than they expected. You can do a full grocery shop, eat familiar food, and hear Mandarin spoken around you — twenty minutes from the school gate.
A state capital, and a manageable one: safe, walkable and easy for a family to learn within a fortnight. It is close enough to enjoy, and far enough that your child grows up with space and greenery.
Drive times are approximate and depend on traffic. College bus services and TransLink public transport cover this area. Our International Team will confirm which routes reach the address you are considering, before you sign a lease.
Confidence is learned, in the same way a subject is learned. At John Paul College, every student from Prep to Year 12 is taught how to build friendships, set goals and keep going when work is hard. This is what helps a child settle quickly in a new country, and it is what turns effort into strong results.
SOARING is our own wellbeing and character framework — built on Positive Psychology and taught in every year from Prep to Year 12. Select a branch of the JPC SOARING Tree to see the skills it develops.
Establishing, striving for and achieving personal goals, in belief in oneself — important for self-esteem and wellbeing, and helping to cultivate resilience when students face challenges in life.
Valuing our physical and mental wellbeing through exercise, nutrition and sleep. Learning what it means to lead a healthy lifestyle, underpinned by positive attitudes, is vital for young people.
Nurturing positive connections with others through relational awareness and social management — communication, collaboration, leadership, decision-making and conflict resolution.
Experiencing moments of complete engagement in personal interests. Being ‘in the zone’ is the perfect balance of challenge and the application of key strengths and skills.
Developing self-awareness and the ability to build upon positive emotional experiences — enhancing creativity, resilience, perseverance and wellbeing.
Exploring one’s unique sense of meaning and purpose by engaging in experiences that let us think and feel beyond ourselves. Aligning with what we value most gives students a real sense of purpose.
SOARING is taught alongside Friendology 101, an international program that teaches children the skills of friendship. Each year has its own focus — Begin, Explore, Share, Care, Think, Create, Lead.
See our primary wellbeing program Years 7 – 12SOARING develops twenty-four character strengths through the years in which confidence is formed. Students learn to identify their strengths and to practise them.
See our secondary wellbeing programFor a child who will study, work and lead in a second language, this is not an optional extra. A settled, happy student is a student who is ready to learn. Confidence, teamwork and the willingness to contribute are what turn strong results into real opportunities.
Two international students, two different starting points — one through English preparation, one from Year 6. Both finished at the University of Queensland.
Venus arrived from Hong Kong in 2022 and began at John Paul International College at the intermediate level of English, before entering mainstream classes in Year 9. She graduated in 2025 with an ATAR of 99.25 — the top 1% in Queensland — and now studies Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland.
Read Venus’s storySophia joined John Paul College from Hong Kong in 2019, arriving in Year 6 with limited English and few friends. Six years later she graduated as College Vice Captain, and went on to study Politics, Philosophy and Economics (Honours) at the University of Queensland.
Read Sophia’s storyYou do not need to work this out alone. Tell us where your child is now, and we will help you identify the right year level, the right entry route and the right arrival date.
Josephine can guide you through the application, the year level and the documentation in your own language. You are welcome to contact her at any stage of your planning.
Our International Team answers questions from families in Taiwan every week. Brisbane is only two hours ahead, so a call at the end of your working day reaches us during ours.
You can also apply through an authorised agent in Taiwan, working in your own language. There is no cost to your family — the College pays the agent’s service fee.
We reply within two business days.
Years 9 and 10 are the years students explore subjects and build a career pathway. Senior subjects are chosen in Year 10, and Years 11 and 12 are one two-year programme leading to the QCE and an ATAR. Students who arrive for Years 9 and 10 have two years to discover their strengths before the senior years begin. John Paul College does not accept students into Year 12. There are four intakes a year: January, April, July and October.
The Queensland school year runs from late January to early December, in four terms. A student finishing in Taiwan at the end of June arrives for our July intake, settles over two terms, and begins the next year level in January. See our term dates.
Taiwanese school years map directly onto Australian year levels. 國小一至六年級 corresponds to Year 1 to Year 6, 國中一至三年級 to Year 7 to Year 9, 高中一年級 to Year 10 and 高中二年級 to Year 11. Prep, the year before Year 1, is available for children turning five. Year 12 is not available to new students. Admissions confirms the final placement from your child’s school reports.
For 2027, Years 7 to 10 tuition is A$34,300 per year and Years 11 and 12 is A$34,900 per year. High School Preparation is A$8,575 per term. Homestay is A$25,100 per year and boarding is A$27,350 per year. Other one-off and annual fees apply. Figures are a guide transcribed from the current fee schedule — confirm exact amounts against your Written Agreement before paying. See the full fee schedule.
Primary School tuition at John Paul College is A$29,500 per year for 2027. Primary School Preparation, for children who need English support first, is A$8,575 per term. Other one-off and annual fees apply. See the full fee schedule.
No external English test result is required to apply through the High School Preparation or Primary School Preparation pathway. Direct entry is for students whose English and school reports already meet the College benchmarks. Every international applicant also completes an interview with the Head of School. See the entry requirements.
Yes. Josephine Zhong, our International Admission Co-Ordinator, speaks Taiwanese, so you can ask your questions and read our answers in your own language. You can also apply through an authorised education agent in Taiwan if you would rather work with someone locally — see the authorised agents.
Every international student under 18 must have approved welfare arrangements for the length of their student visa. John Paul College provides them, through Premium Homestay or boarding at Fenton Village, with the JPC CARE framework in every placement and a 24/7 emergency hotline.
Either with a checked local homestay family, or in Fenton Village, the boarding community on the John Paul College campus. Premium Homestay includes the Extended Day Program: homework support after school, a community dinner with staff, and door-to-door transport home. Some families choose to live in Brisbane with their child instead — our team can explain what that involves. Compare the options.
Brisbane is two hours ahead of Taipei, and neither Taiwan nor Queensland changes its clocks during the year, so the two-hour gap holds all year. You can call your child after school every day without calculating the time difference.
Taipei to Brisbane is a direct flight scheduled at just under nine hours. There is no transit and no change of aircraft in another country, so family members can visit easily.
Most settle in the suburbs south of Brisbane between the school and the city. Sunnybank, about twenty minutes from the school gate, is the centre of Taiwanese life in Brisbane: one in five residents speaks Mandarin at home and Taiwan is the second most common overseas birthplace (2021 Census). Its shopping centres carry Taiwanese groceries, bakeries, bubble tea and dozens of restaurants.
Yes. Study Abroad places students in mainstream Australian classrooms for periods from four weeks to one year. Study Abroad does not include Year 12 and does not include boarding. See Study Abroad.
Tell us about your child and our International Team will guide you, step by step — year level, entry route, arrival date, fees, and how your child will be cared for. There is no cost, and no obligation to apply.
