What is
Student Leadership
Since 1935,
St Joseph’s
College has educated young men in the spirit of Blessed Edmund Rice. Motivated by a strong sense of social
justice, Edmund Rice committed himself to serving others. As students of St Joseph’s College, we have a duty and
responsibility to serve both local and international communities by working to
assist those less fortunate than ourselves.
