St Joseph’s College focuses on academic excellence without losing sight of the importance of values, social justice and the development of life skills. Our motto, “Agite Quae Didicistis”, translated as “put into practice what you have learnt”, underpins our daily approach to a holistic education for boys in the 21st century. St Joseph’s College specialises in boys’ education and understands the varying needs of boys growing up in the 21st century. We apply innovative and progressive teaching methods to maximise boys’ engagement. Our curriculum is designed specifically to cater for boys’ needs with a ‘hands on’ approach to learning. We have a renowned Year 9 program known as ‘Valdocco’ which focuses on respect, responsibilities, relationships and rehearsal. We offer 24 elective subjects in Year 9, including viticulture, animal husbandry, advanced health and fitness, cycle cross, advanced mathematics and music ‘Noiseworks’. There are several programs and opportunities offered to our students. One of these programs is our Life Skills program which teaches boys how to become responsible and honest citizens within and beyond their community. Our students are equipped with iPads and MacBooks from the beginning of their journey through St Joseph’s College. We also offer an advanced sports program with 15+ sports on offer, after school tuition for all students four nights
a week and six international experiences per year. The teacher-student, teacher-family and student to peer relationships cultivated at the College are what truly sets St Joseph’s College apart. Teaching respect within relationships is what prepares our boys for life.
