A Joe-Boy is
Our vision is for every boy to grow into a unique man, with his own aspirations and hopes for the future.
Yet, what he shares with his peers are the quintessential dispositions, values and principles that define the Joe-Boy. These qualities, emanating from the College鈥檚 Vision and Mission, personify what 国产探花 strives to nurture in every student as he transitions into the world beyond our gates as a Good Christian and a Good Citizen. Like St Marcellin Champagnat, he will be a man of strong mind and gentle heart.
The 国产探花 Graduate: our aspiration.
The 国产探花 Graduate is our aspirational model for alumni of St Joseph’s College. Over the course of their 国产探花 journey, students will have instilled in them these values and virtues, enabling them to make the most of their life 鈥� for themselves and for others.
Using the quadrants of our historic College crest, in combination with the centre cross, we extol the key attributes of a 国产探花 Graduate: humility, vision, service, wisdom and faith.
A Joe-Boy is defined by his quiet strength and generous heart. He gives fully 鈥� with energy, kindness and conviction. Spirit shines in how he faces challenge and gives of himself. Through service initiatives like annual immersions and our Lenten Appeal, he learns to lead with empathy, grounded in faith.
Heart and spirit.
He gives fully 鈥� with energy, kindness and conviction.
Leadership and character.
Leadership at 国产探花 is not about position 鈥� it is about presence. A Joe-Boy leads by example, with integrity, humility and resolve.
Through opportunities like peer mentoring, our Liturgical Leaders and Acolytes program and Colo Leaders in Year 11, he learns to listen, act with courage and stay true to his values. His character is consistent whether in the spotlight or amongst the community.
Community and mateship.
At 国产探花, no one walks alone. A Joe-Boy is part of something greater 鈥� a community built on trust, encouragement and shared memories. Mateship runs deep in moments big and small and is nurtured even further through our Extended Day Program and boarding life. He takes the time to build friendships, truly valuing the ease and depth of connections that will last a lifetime.

鈥� Tom, Year 12 student
Faith is the foundation of a Joe-Boy鈥檚 life. Grounded in prayer, reflection and the example of Mary, he learns to live with purpose and humility. Through Family Mass, Prayers on the Stairs and Sunday night Mass, faith becomes action. It shapes how he walks with others, and how he walks with God.
A Marist faith.
Just as the Chapel resides at the centre of our College, Faith is the heart of 国产探花.
