Facilities

A Pompallier technology centre was opened at St John's College in May 2002, which contains facilities for art, food technology, graphic design and materials technology classes. [4] St John's College has an 3,360 square metres (36,200 sq ft) Astroturf centre, named the Paul Honiss Tennis and Hockey Centre. It was completed in May 2003 on a budget of NZ$250,000. [5]

A new Sports Centre at the school was opened in early 2020, with New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern attending to visit the opening. The gym is estimated to be worth NZ $ 8 million, with the same building also supporting three new classrooms. [6] This newly established area began construction in 2018 as a response to the roll increase of students at St John's College. An updated facility was required for all students to sufficiently participate in sports activities at the school. Sports that can be played at the new gymnasium include basketball, volleyball, badminton and futsal. [7]

Houses

St John's College has four houses. The houses are named after four prominent figures in the Catholic Faith.
