Engaged Learners Stay the Course Education has the power to shape our future. We want all our students to enjoy their educational journey gaining knowledge, wisdom and curiosity. And so, our approach at St Jo's is differentiated, nuanced and flexible. As Helen Keller noted, A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.
Our role at St Joseph's College is to spark curiosity and develop questioning minds, to immerse our children in the joy of discovery. We want our students to love school and to relish the academic education that will allow them to become whoever they want to be. Here at St Jo's they can be joyful and that's our aim for all young people.
The foundations are laid in our Nursery and Prep School where our children see the benefits of learning in the cheerful adults around them. When the teacher is enthusiastic about lizards, electrical circuits or bright African cloth, the children catch and magnify that spirit.
Project work consolidates the basics and demonstrates the usefulness of legible writing and accurate graphs.
