St Joseph's College is a Catholic, co-educational school of over 780 students owned by Mercy Secondary Education Inc. It is the only non-government school in Sunraysia which provides education for students in Years 7 to 12. St Joseph's has always had a significant number of students of various religions and cultures among its student population. As a Catholic Mercy school, we aim to see Christ in all the people of this community, making the College a place of hope and love. We aspire to live by the core values of spirituality, compassion, justice, excellence, hospitality, community and service. The school community promotes and fosters a well-founded spirit of faith, hope, confidence and optimism for the future in all students. St Joseph's provides a wealth of opportunities for students to experience a full and balanced curriculum, including VCE and VCAL. Other opportunities include: retreats; sporting programs; camps; debating and public speaking; international excursions; student leadership and social justice programs. The recent addition of the Mercy Theatre will allow the performing arts to flourish at the College and allow students to showcase their many talents.
