St John's Catholic College is a unique Catholic co-educational day and boarding school located in the heart of Darwin. Its uniqueness lies in its environment, its history, its tradition and culture; and the diversity of students. Our College motto: Strong in Faith, Education and Tradition imbues every aspect of every day. Founded by the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in 1960, we believe that a true education challenges the mind and the heart. We believe that learning is central, important and not-negotiable. We provide students with a firm grounding in the Gospel values of honesty, justice, peace and mercy with a true sense of respect and care for ourselves and each other. Little things, such as manners, uniform and service, matter at St John's. St John's Catholic College provides a balanced, quality education for all of our students from Year Seven to Year Twelve on two large campuses in the heart of Darwin. We are though 'One College', a blend of local students as well as those from all over Australia and the world. St John's has a long tradition of academic, vocational and extra-curricular excellence. We have a reputation for developing outstanding young men and women who go on to make a significant contribution in our world. We are proud to have scientist's engineers, politicians, lawyers, award winning actors, doctors, Olympians, mechanics, teachers, Religious, and Norm Smith Medallists amongst our alumni.

The Essington School Darwin turned 23 years old in 2012 and currently offers high quality child care, preschool, early childhood, primary and middle school programs, and a unique senior secondary program at our new Senior College. Our Senior College, The Essington International Senior College, Charles Darwin University, opened in January, 2011, and offers classes to Year 12 students. The school is a parent owned, non-denominational, co-educational school with a reputation for innovation and high quality learning outcomes at a national and international level. Our vision is to be identified as a world-class, parent-owned school where parents, students and teachers work closely together in partnership to give children a quality education where all potentialities are realised. In 2012 we commenced our Three Year Strategic Plan that has seen us develop our international standards and programs, and relationships with our Council of International Schools (CIS) members.
