A Catholic School in the Edmund Rice Tradition
COLLEGE MAP
Welcome to the 2025 St Joseph’s College Open Day. Celebrating 150 Years of Excellence.
In 2025, St Joseph’s College proudly marks 150 years of forming Gentlemen of Terrace - a legacy built on faith, knowledge, and service.
As a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition, we are committed to providing a liberating education that inspires young men in their lifelong pursuit of knowledge, humility and wisdom. Guided by the values of Blessed Edmund Rice, we strive to form men of character who will make a meaningful impact on the world through service to God, the community, and each other.
Today’s Open Day is an opportunity to experience the spirit of the Terrace Family firsthand. Whether you are visiting for the first time or have long been part of our community, we invite you to explore our campus, engage with our students and staff, and discover the many opportunities available at Terrace. Our current Terracians are here to assist you and share their experiences.
Thank you for joining us as we celebrate this milestone year. We hope you enjoy your visit.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
In the spirit of reconciliation, we, as members of the Terrace Family, acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of our Nation. We acknowledge, respect and give gratitude to the Traditional Owners of the Countries on which our campuses are located.
We pay our respects to Ancestors, Elders, and leaders of the future as well as to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our Terrace Family. We value the knowledge of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and recognise and honour their stories, cultures, and achievements as we walk together for mutual liberation and a truth-telling history for all Australians.
Inspired by the Touchstones, we are called to be people of knowledge, humility and wisdom who walk in solidarity with the First Peoples of our Nation for reconciliation, justice, equity and healing.
