Mission Statement

We, the students, staff and parents of St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace, form the Terrace Family centred on the Gospel of Jesus and the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice. We seek excellence in teaching and learning with a commitment to curriculum, academic challenge and renewal.

We seek to instil a spirit of service in the context of Catholic values with a strong and principled commitment to the poor and marginalised. We seek opportunities in partnership with others to develop right relationships that respect the dignity of each person. As the Terrace Family, we commit our energies to forming young men of faith and learning who will make a difference.

Our Values

The values held by the Terrace community are based in the Gospel values in which Jesus Christ is the foundation of a full Christian life.
