Why Us?
College Community
When students join St Joseph’s, their entire family becomes part of our welcoming and inclusive college community, that brings together present students, alumni, families, committed staff and friends of the college, all united by a shared vision and purpose.
We actively foster strong partnerships with parents and carers, creating a supportive and nurturing environment that promotes student growth and development.
The college hosts many events throughout the year, inviting and welcoming members of our community into the college, to:
- Attend Parents in Partnership meetings ( held termly)
- See their daughter participating in different school events
- Celebrate their daughter’s success at college assemblies
- Take part in liturgies or masses
- Attend sporting events
- Connect with other college families
- Celebrate special occasions such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
Together, we foster connection, collaboration, and a strong sense of belonging.
House System
Every student at St Joseph’s is given a house to join for the duration of their time at the college. The current college house system, comprising of six house groups, began in 2012 and aims to enhance the connection of students across and within year groups, encourage greater student and staff engagement in school events and activities and create a strong sense of community and belonging.
The college houses are named after Josephite nuns and are per below:
- Barnes – Purple
- Carroll – Blue
- Dewey – Green
- Lonergan – Red
- Raftery – White
- Tacey – Yellow
