The St Joseph’s College Difference
At St Joseph’s, we strive for quality in everything we do.
We have educated generations of young people, shaping futures in a Catholic context. We embrace every student as an individual and value accomplishments across all areas including academic, sporting, artistic and creative achievements.
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. ...

In Term 3, our Year 10 Drama students took part in The Scene Project, a Queensland-wide theatre program that gives young artists the opportunity to create their own interpretation of a professionally written script.
This year’s production, Icarus, was co-written by St Joseph’s College alumnus David Burton and inspired by the Greek myth. Through the devising process, students stepped into roles such as directors and designers before bringing their interpretation to the stage at UniSQ Theatre in Toowoomba.
Students also had the opportunity to see how other schools approached the same script, sharing fresh ideas and experiencing the creativity of live theatre. ...
