St Joseph's College ("Terrace") is a Catholic Day School for young men from Years 5 to 12 founded by the Christian Brothers in 1875.
The College has a long and distinguished history spanning 140 years in the tradition of the Christian Brothers and their founder Blessed Edmund Rice. Today the College is governed by Edmund Rice Education Australia. Since its establishment the College has pursued its mission to develop young men of faith and learning with a strong focus on academic excellence.
Central to the College’s Mission Statement is the overall development and well-being of every young man who walks through our gates. The Terrace Gentleman is well-rounded learned and respectful. The Terrace Gentleman seeks to make a difference through Knowledge, Wisdom and Humility.
Students are guided by experienced staff with a genuine empathy and concern for each student's academic, spiritual, sporting, cultural and personal development. A Terrace education is based on a partnership among students, parents and the College.
Our priorities are Catholic faith, personal formation and scholarly development. Students receive a quality education in an environment that challenges and supports them. Students are supported within a vertical pastoral care system, ensuring continuity of contact. The College community benefits from our "extended family" with an extensive parent support network and many on-line services.
