Acting PM Richard Marles' Visit

Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles paid a special visit to the College on 16 November for a lively Q&A session with some politically minded senior students. Hosted by the Year 10 Civics & Citizenship class, the session covered a broad range of topics including the environment and engine emissions, Australia’s commitment the Ukraine, urban poverty and the major issues facing Geelong. Mr Marles said he thoroughly enjoyed being put through his paces by the students who offered up insightful and thought-provoking questions. “They were really good questions and it spoke to the thoughtfulness of the kids about the way they think about their community, the way they think about their future and the way they are thinking about the world. “If that is an example of the level of thought which is going on amongst our young people in this town we should have a lot of confidence about the future.” Mr Marles said it was a pleasure to visit St Joseph’s which continues to make a vital contribution to education in Geelong.“St Joseph’s College has been a great school for our region for a very long time. Over generations the school has been providing excellent education for young men,” he said. “You only have to look at the St Joeys alumni to understand the contribution that it’s made to Geelong. In lots of ways St Joeys is a really, really important school for our town.”
