This week, our Year 12 School-Based Apprentices and Trainees joined their employers for a special thank-you breakfast hosted by Toowoomba Catholic Schools.

The event celebrated the partnerships between schools and local businesses that help bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace.

St Joseph's College is proud to have 18 Year 12 students who have completed or are currently undertaking a School-Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship, gaining hands-on experience, industry connections and job-ready qualifications that will see them leave the College not only with an education, but also with a head start on their careers.

It was also fantastic to have 11 of our Hospitality students assisting at the breakfast, putting their skills and professionalism on display.

At St Joseph's College, sport is a core part of who we are. It is where character is tested, limits are shattered, and lifelong bonds are forged.

This week, we gathered for our annual Sports Assembly to honor a remarkable year of athletic achievement. We celebrated the relentless training, the fierce determination on the field, and the unwavering dedication of our student athletes.

Whether breaking individual milestones or securing team triumphs, our students wore the College jersey with passion, resilience, and unmistakable pride.

Congratulations to our 2026 Sports Award recipients! To the coaches, staff, and families who stand behind our athletes and make these opportunities possible – thank you for supporting our sporting community. ... See MoreSee Less

Some lessons simply can’t happen in a classroom.

During the Term 3 school holidays, our students set out to discover the Land of the Rising Sun, travelling through Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Osaka.

They experienced a country of striking contrasts, where bullet trains rush past ancient temples and centuries-old traditions sit comfortably alongside the energy of modern city life.

From sumo and yukata to discovering new flavours and making some very cute new friends at a Tokyo hedgehog café, each day offered another window into Japan’s culture, history and everyday rhythm.

The students also spent a full week with our sister College, Shionawate Gakuen in Osaka, putting their Japanese into practice, forming connections and experiencing daily life and culture firsthand.

And in one surreal moment they are unlikely to forget, our students even found themselves on the big screen at Tokyo Dome!

Two weeks, countless experiences and a whole new perspective on Japan.

A special thank you to Mrs Maree Nunn and Mr Bruce Cook for accompanying our students and helping make this experience possible. ... See MoreSee Less
