Principal’s Welcome

At John Port Spencer we prepare our students for a fast moving and rapidly changing world. We have a culture of high expectations, and our values – aspiration, resilience, responsibility – are those which allow students to succeed both in school and beyond. We challenge and motivate students to ensure that they reach their full potential.

While there is a strong emphasis on academic achievement, students are given the support and guidance to develop as individuals, and we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities outside the classroom.

The high standards observed at John Port are made possible by close collaboration between staff, students and parents.

We look forward to meeting you, and to working together to ensure that your child has the best possible chance to achieve their full potential.
