At St Joseph’s College, the co-curriculum is a fundamental element of our approach to holistic education. While academic interests often begin in the classroom, it is often outside of that formal setting that these interests can evolve into life-long passions.
Co-curricular Activities (CCAs) are an integral part of our students’ education, whether it be to introduce them to new opportunities or to extend and challenge their existing abilities. We also believe that our thriving co-curriculum harnesses our 5 C’s that we aim to instil in all our students: Commitment, Collaboration, Confidence, Compassion and Communication. Through their active participation, students will stretch boundaries and be exposed to new challenges and experiences developing their cognitive, social, and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed in this rapidly changing world.
The Co-curriculum is a cohesive whole College programme, from Prep through to the Senior School, providing an opportunity for development and growth in student learning right from their younger years to adulthood. To ensure that students have access to a diverse range of ideas and experiences, the Co-curriculum is spearheaded by our four Societies: The Arts; Sports & Outdoor Learning; STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics); HaLE (Humanities & Language Enrichment). Students will have the opportunity to investigate subject areas beyond what the standard curriculum will allow, and work with fellow students who share similar interests.
