St Joseph’s College prides itself on providing students with a well-rounded, balanced education, focusing on boys’ academic, physical, social, spiritual and recreation needs. The College’s broad range of sport and co-curricular activities caters for a wide range of talents and interests and adds great enjoyment to students’ school life.

The College was a founding member of the Athletic Association of Great Public Schools (AAGPS) and participates in the AAGPS sporting competitions of NSW. Most sports are contested among the nine member schools and boys have the opportunity to represent the College at their own level of expertise.

Joeys offers a variety of sports and sporting competitions throughout the year. All students participate in a summer sport and a winter sport of their choice and benefit from working with the College’s experienced coaches as well as a comprehensive strength and conditioning program.

St Joseph’s has a proud reputation of sporting excellence and has produced many great state and national representative sportsmen. Much of the College’s success is due to the strong team spirit that is fostered by the unique, tight-knit community, as well access to first-rate facilities and training opportunities.

The College’s highly acclaimed facilities include eight rugby fields, two football fields, eight high-quality tennis courts, indoor and outdoor basketball courts and cricket nets, five turf and six artificial cricket wickets, a swimming pool, a fully drained 400 metre running track, a well-equipped rowing shed located on Tarban Creek and weights and cardio gymnasiums.
