The College

St Joseph’s College is a Catholic Co-educational Secondary College with an enrolment of approximately 700 students, which aims to nurture each student in reaching his or her full potential.
St Joseph’s College has all the advantages of a small College with fees in 2010 set at $3,660 all inclusive.

Students are known personally by staff and their peers, making it difficult for a student at St Joseph’s to “fall through the cracks”. A strong and vibrant system of Pastoral Care is a significant feature of the College.

Expectations of student cooperation and behaviour are high, and students are made aware of both their rights and their responsibilities.
