St Joseph’s College

St Joseph’s College, Lochinvar, founded by the Sisters of St Joseph in 1883, is a co-educational secondary school providing a rich and diverse educational experience for students from Years 7 to 12.

Located on the grounds of the foundation house of the Sisters of St Joseph who arrived from Perthville in 1883, the College maintains a strong connection with the congregation and the Josephite charism. This charism guides us in forming a faith-filled community inspired by justice and service.

St Joseph’s College is committed to the Church’s mission of providing an education based on Gospel values and centred on Jesus Christ. St Joseph’s aspires to be a dynamic, contemporary Catholic school that responds actively to the Gospel message and our Josephite charism, nurturing a culture of service and trust in the providence of God.

Our three pillars of Strength, Faith and Hope guide our strategic direction and provide a cohesive framework for academic, cultural and sporting pursuits, as well as the focus on nurturing positive wellbeing and cultural responsiveness. These pillars also provide the opportunity to utilise an implementation model focused on the following goals – Catholic Identity, Formation, Service, Leadership, Growth Mindset, Successful Learning, Community Partnerships, Innovation, and Career Pathways.
