The St Joseph’s College Difference

We have educated generations of young people, shaping futures in a Catholic context. We embrace every student as an individual and value accomplishments across all areas including academic, sporting, artistic and creative achievements.
CONFRO & QISSN 2026 BEGINS
With the Queensland Independent Secondary Schools Rugby League and Netball Carnivals just around the corner, today was a big day for our SJC teams.
At the assembly this morning, our students received their official 2026 playing apparel and were joined by special guest and SJC alumna Jada Ferguson, who helped present the jerseys and dresses ahead of next week's carnivals.
As a four-time QISSN representative for SJC, Queensland State of Origin player, NRLW Premiership winner and Brisbane Broncos star, Jada knows a thing or two about pulling on a team jersey and giving it your all. Thank you, Jada, for taking the time to join us and help mark this special occasion. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to meet someone who once represented SJC at QISSN and has gone on to achieve success at the highest levels of the game.
With the apparel sorted and Brisbane in sight, the excitement is building as our students prepare to proudly represent Joeys next week.
A huge thank you to our incredible 2026 sponsors and the dedicated staff members who will accompany and support our students as they represent SJC in Brisbane next week.

Ms Debbie Newton, Mr Mitchell Wheeldon, Mrs Karyn Morrison, Miss Taylor Steinmuller, Mr Cameron Love, Ms Bridget Kenny, Mr Thomas Moore, Mr Jim Brennan, Mr Tim Stone, Mr Andrew Fitness, Mr Joseph Cryle, and Mrs Jess Lawrence.

Last week, our Year 11 Modern History students welcomed back St Joseph's College alumnus and Vietnam War veteran, Mr Greg Brady (Class of 1963), for a special guest speaker session.
Returning to the same school he graduated from more than 60 years ago, Mr Brady shared his experiences of military service during the Vietnam War, offering students a firsthand perspective on a chapter of history often explored only through textbooks.
Through personal stories, photographs, letters sent home during his deployment and service medals, students gained a deeper understanding of the realities of war, service and sacrifice.
Adding a personal connection to the visit, Mr Brady is also the grandfather of SJC teacher Mrs Taylah Hodgkinson, whose students had the privilege of learning directly from his lived experience.
We thank Mr Brady for returning to SJC to share his story and helping students connect with history in a deeply personal and meaningful way. ... See MoreSee Less

🎭 Thank You for Bringing the Magic to Life
With the musical performances now behind us, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many people whose creativity and commitment brought Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to life.
From the earliest planning meetings to the final curtain call, our Production Team and Band brought an extraordinary level of dedication to every aspect of the show.
Whether you were shaping creative ideas, leading rehearsals, supporting performers, coordinating costumes and props, managing backstage operations, overseeing technical elements, building sets, designing programs or bringing the music to life from the orchestra pit, your contribution helped create something truly special.
A special thank you to our musicians and music tutors for the gift of live music. Your talent, commitment and countless hours of preparation provided the heartbeat of the production, elevating every performance and creating an unforgettable experience for our cast and audiences alike.
Productions of this scale are only possible because of people willing to generously share their time, knowledge and passion in support of our students. Much of this work happens away from the spotlight, yet its impact can be seen in every scene, every performance and every memory created along the way.
To our Production Team and Band, thank you for the long hours, the dedication, the perseverance and the care you poured into this journey. The performances may now be over, but the impact of your work will be remembered for years to come.
Thank you for bringing the magic — and the music — to life. ✨

A Guard of Honour for Brian Cantwell
Today, our community paused to recognise the remarkable contribution of Brian Cantwell as he concluded more than 30 years of service to the College.
Students and staff formed a Guard of Honour across the campus, creating a rare and deeply meaningful tribute to a man whose impact on SJC spans generations.
Throughout his time at the College, Brian has served as a teacher, Curriculum Leader – Technologies, Leader of Brennan House, Assistant Principal – Students, and a Rugby League coach for many years, influencing the lives of countless young people along the way.
In 2022, he was recognised with the Spirit of Catholic Education Award and has been instrumental in initiatives including the “Women Who Weld” program, community service projects supporting those in need and remote communities, and many other service-focused initiatives that have fostered a culture of service and compassion at SJC.
More than the positions he has held, Brian has been a true embodiment of our College motto, "Serve Him in Others."
The respect, gratitude and dignity shown by our students and staff today reflected the significance of the occasion and the lasting impact Brian has had on our community. It was a fitting farewell for a man whose service, leadership and commitment have helped shape St Joseph's College for more than three decades.
Thank you, Brian, for your unwavering dedication to SJC. We wish you every blessing and happiness in the next chapter.
