College Operations
a place of faith and high quality boys’ education since 1881.
Why Joeys.
St Joseph’s prides itself on being a comprehensive College, one where students of all abilities are given opportunities to achieve their full potential.
We focus on providing boys with a balanced education, incorporating a range of learning, spiritual, physical and recreation experiences. Joeys is renowned for its outstanding academic, cultural and sporting achievements and links to the local and international community and rural Australia.
St Joseph’s College is the largest boarding school for boys in Australia, with strong family traditions and a deep sense of values and mateship.
Following in the traditions of the Marist Brothers, our staff are dedicated to creating a family environment, informed deeply by Marist values, for the boys under their care. Warm, down-to-earth relationships are a defining feature, reminiscent of how members of a good and loving family would relate to each other. Heads of Year, Leaders of Wellbeing and boarding supervisors are guided by the knowledge that parents have entrusted to Joeys not only the education of their son but the overall development, care and welfare of his whole person. Joe-Boys discover the kind of man they will grow to become from the time spent at St Joseph’s College.
Living on campus provides additional opportunities for study and academic achievements, cultural and sporting endeavours, and further develops boys’ spiritual life and connection to their faith.
A distinct difference about Joeys is there is no separation or division between day boy and boarder. All boys eat, play, learn and engage with one another.
Each day boy has his own area within the boarding facilities, and the Extended Day Program means all boys have the additional benefit of studying and training together as one.
Every minute of every day is directed towards realising your son’s talents and moulding him into a man of good character and integrity. Many teachers also take on roles beyond the classroom – as boarding supervisors, coaches and mentors – spending time with the boys across all aspects of College life. This unique continuity deepens their understanding of each Joe-Boy, shaping how they teach, guide and care with insight and authenticity.
