We welcome our overseas students joining us in Homestay or Boarding.
We understand that living away from home is an exciting opportunity to develop into a young adult, but we also recognise that living away from family and friends can be challenging.

Extended Day Program for Homestay StudnetsÂ
At John Paul College, we are proud to be pioneers in offering comprehensive services that go beyond traditional education. Our commitment to international students goes beyond the typical school day with our International Student Extended Day Program. This unique program is designed to provide an inclusive and extensive welfare and academic support system, ensuring the holistic development and wellbeing of our students.
The International Student Extended Day Program is an integral part of our commitment to providing comprehensive welfare support. We understand the diverse needs of our international students, and our bilingual staff in Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese are ready to assist with any issues, ensuring the best support.
A Better Student Experience
The International Student Extended Day Program operates every Tuesday and Thursday, extending the student experience until 6:15 pm. The program runs every term, excluding the first and last week.
