St Joseph's College

Our College

The Salesians first opened the doors to St Joseph's College in 1965, with 56 students. studying Form 1 (Year 7 today), we were little more than a corridor with a few classrooms. Today, we have a total student population of 1,000 boys studying from Year 7 to 12, extensive grounds and modern facilities; including a trade training centre and extensive sporting grounds with a full gymnasium, double stadium and swimming complex. The Salesians are still a strong presence in the school today with our philosophy and curriculum based by the teachings of Don Bosco, founder of the Salesians, whilst equipping our students for the challenges of the modern world.

Experience the difference

St Joseph’s College focuses on Academic Excellence without losing sight of the importance of values, justice, and the development of life skills in the building of successful and long lasting relationships. 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.

Our Curriculum

As part of our Catholic community, curriculum is developed to meet the needs of our boys in an ever changing world as teachers walk the journey with the boys as they develop into young men.

The Curriculum is structured to ensure that all students experience success and are, at the same time, challenged to strive for academic excellence. To this end the learning environment is commensurate with each student’s individual abilities and interests. Religious Education is central to our mission as a Catholic School and therefore is a compulsory subject from Years 7 to 12.

Multiple pathways are on offer to the students at the College, not simply the option of VCE or VCAL, but a range of programs beneath those umbrellas that cater for the individual interests of each boy.

Physical & Cultural Edication

The Physical Education, Sport and Outdoor Education programs provide all students with an opportunity to undertake physical activity; a vital component in the healthy development of young men.

Also vital is the cultural aspect and the College provides a program which allows boys to express themselves through the creative and performing arts, echoing St John Bosco’s assertion that a school without music is a school without a soul.

Language & IT programs

Also linked to the cultural aspect of boys is the focus on other cultures through the Language program which allows boys to study either Italian or Japanese. Additionally, exchange and overseas trips to Italy, Japan and Kiribati, as well as the exposure to other cultures through the international students program add to the richness of the St Joseph’s experience.

Boys’ well known interest in technology is also catered for through the ICT program of the school, as well as through the opportunities to undertake technology-focussed studies and vocational courses.
