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.

Our College has a long and distinguished history spanning almost 135 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 our tradition is the overall development and well-being of every young man who walks through our gates. The "Gentlemen of Terrace" are nurtured and 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A case of Whooping Cough has been reported to the College. Whooping cough may start like a cold, with a runny nose and sneezing, and then the characteristic cough develops. These coughing bouts can be very severe and frightening, and may end with a crowing noise (the whoop). This occurs as air is drawn back into the chest, and can be followed by vomiting or gagging. In young infants, as well as older children and adults, the typical symptoms may not be present. If you have any concerns about your child, please see your family doctor or call 13HEALTH.
