25.01.2022 Congratulations to all our Year 12 students who recently graduated. In a year that has certainly been challenging these students have shown great resilience and have made our College community proud. They have lived and breathed all our College values and we wish them well in their future adventures. In the words of one of our senior leaders, Sophia Scanlan, take every opportunity that presents itself and give it your very best shot. Don’t be afraid to fail, but more importantly have a go because it is our choices that reflect who we are, far more than our abilities. #EndeavourSJC #RespectSJC #CompassionSJC #DignitySJC #TogetherSJC

18.01.2022 Each week we will look at the origins of the St Josephs College houses, with the spotlight this week on Rice House! Rice House holds before the College the continuation of the work and vision of Edmund Rice. The two elements in the crest, the outreaching hand and tools for the hand, are symbolic of the life and work of Edmund Rice. The tools symbolise Edmunds very practical nature. He gave young people the skills they needed to improve their lives and the hand he offered was one which helped others to be all that they could be. What does Rice House mean to you? #HousesofSJC #TogetherSJC

Make sure you have created an organised study space. Ask yourself have I enough space to spread out my textbooks and notes? Have I enough light? Is my chair comfortable? Are my computer games out of sight? Remember to take away any distractions to ensure you can concentrate and have an efficient study time. #TogetherSJC
