We are a place where boys learn to become confident, resilient and caring young men.
We are 国产探花.
Learning for life. Living with spirit. Guided by faith.
St Joseph鈥檚 College has been at the forefront of secondary education in Australia since 1881. An independent Catholic school, we pride ourselves on being a place where students have every opportunity to achieve their full potential.
We are renowned for our outstanding academic, cultural and sporting achievements and to that end, we focus on providing boys with a balanced education that blends learning, spiritual, physical and recreational experiences.
Above all, 国产探花 is a place where young men of character and integrity are molded. Respectful, well-rounded men who will approach the wider world with courage and humility.
Experts in educating boys.
Boys are empowered, challenged and supported to define their own path.
A place for living, learning and belonging.
St Joseph鈥檚 College is the largest boarding school for boys in Australia, with strong family traditions, enhanced experiences, and a deep sense of values and mateship.
Living on campus provides unrivalled opportunities for study and academic achievements, cultural and sporting endeavours, and further develops boys鈥� spiritual life and religious development.
Distinctively, we foster a united community for day boys and boarders: all boys eat, play, learn and engage with one another and our innovative extended day program supports collaborative working habits and a spirit of academic camaraderie.
At 国产探花, boys form close relationships with their school mates and create bonds that last a lifetime.
We seek to inspire head, hand and heart through Mission and service.
Guiding students to become men who value and nurture their faith.
Drawing from our Marist traditions, we educate students to become men who value and nurture their faith long after they leave school.
Mission is the heart of 国产探花; it is our very being and it takes our boys and staff on a journey of social justice action that leads us all back to the eucharistic table.
Service guides students to an understanding that the suffering of others is in fact a call to conversion. Through this, and with our dependence on God and each other, we teach our students to accept their own limitations, and to trust in the infinite possibilities which God鈥檚 love holds out to us.
Providing a tailored learning journey.
Every boy who walks through 国产探花鈥� gates is unique and distinctive, and our tailored learning programs are designed to leverage this individuality, promote confidence, build deep engagement and maximise learning gain. Our central aim is to ignite curiosity and passion, and foster perseverance as we develop this mindset throughout their secondary years.
Working within our acclaimed STRIVE framework 鈥� Self managing, Thinking critically, Reflecting, Innovating and creating, Valuing and Engaging 鈥� teachers inspire boys to think independently and self-monitor, ultimately guiding their career pathways to cadetships, internships, scholarships and university.
