St Joseph's College Geelong

Consider hireing some better looking women. Or bringing more attractive girls to the school. Thanks James Cook

As a student of St Josephs, I can confirm it is a great school, affordable, and it does what a school is supposed too, educate kids. The only issue with it is some of the students, they can do stupid things. But that’s every secondary school, what do you expect for an all boys school. Other than that the campus is beautiful, most of the teachers are nice and caring. There’s only a handful that make class unenjoyable. Year 7 is a great introduction to the curriculum and further years onwards are even more amazing. Obviously school isn’t supposed to be a vacation, but St Joseph’s is a school not like any other. I am proud to say I’m a joeys boy

This school is run like a corporate business. When I fell temporarily out of work, they refused to show any compassion with fee assistance and ended up sourcing a debt collector. They also don't split fees for parents that are separated. Not family orientated at all! Disappointed and will be happy when dealing with this school is over!
Do yourself a favour, if you are researching schools, don't send your son here.

This college is absolutely second to none. As a single dad I was hospitalised for several weeks following a stroke. The college sent meals and meal vouchers home with my son for him and my 21 year old daughter and suspended payments on my fees until I was back on my feet again.
They then kept in touch to see how I was recovering and sent home a large Christmas hamper.
No better secondary college for young men within a bus ride of Geelong.
Cannot speak highly enough of the college or the staff.

Love the community outreach programs and volunteer work done by the students - what a great way to be a part of the local community and make a difference.

So apparently you can only send your "sun" to this school. What about the other 5 planets of the Solar System?

We must learn how to properly manage System 32 to avoid this controversy from happening ever again!

Ahhh where to begin with this school? Having some teachers try to teach subjects they don't understand is one thing, but having racist teachers is another thing. In recent times, while in the class learning about racial segregation, one of the older female staff commonly refer to people of colour as the 'n' word in class to her students.

Kai Tracey. Well no. Because if we allow phones in classes we'll learn NOTHING.and be like americans who think that Africa is a country in South America! And it's another thing teachers have to worry about! Shouting "GET OF YOUR PHONES! ". Also if they are let in, it'll be a matter of days before that is re-instated. And who cares what Sacred Heart does! They can be on their phones while supposed to learn something that might help them in life.

Very great school, teachers and aids are always there to help you to guide for you future pathways! Yet buildings are awesome, the resources and students are fantastic! Also very respectful and well behaved students!

Alright school, but I did try to send my daughter here and they didn't expect her, however My son goes here. But my daughter says Clonard is still better because they accepted her and Joey's didn't

My son has had a great time at Saint Joseph's College for a number of years until he was in year 12. This year was when the principal Mr. Tobias retired, he was replaced with Mr. Paatsch. This was fine until he change the rules with the year 12 jumpers because for my son this was the only thing keeping him in school. I understand why they might not want the hoodies but restricting them to once a week is just ridiculous when all the other schools were able to wear them everyday. From what I hear Mr. Paatsch does not treat the students with much respect and turns a blind eye when asked about it. He still did not do anything when a petition was signed by over 100 people. There are somethings you just don't take away and that is one of them.

Everyone knows the Drama Department is a world leader and goes towards balancing a history of producing footballing thugs.
