St Joseph’s College is a Catholic 7-12 high school operated by St Joseph’s Parish, Tweed Heads, assisted by the Lismore Diocese Catholic Education Office.
SJC works closely with its parents and the community to fulfill the important role of educating the youth of the Tweed Heads region. Our motto, ‘Peace through Justice’ is modified from Pope Pius XII’s motto ‘Opus Justitiae Pax’ – The work of justice is peace. This original motto was taken up in 1939 at the outbreak of World War II. The motto transcends the circumstances of those times to inspire each of us through significant effort in our personal lives, to establish community at local and international levels. The dove of peace reinforces this message.
St Joseph’s College has made the decision to postpone our annual Open Evening, which was due to be held on Tuesday 17 March.
This decision was made in the best interests of our students, staff and the visiting public.
For families looking to enrol we encourage you to contact our registrar.
Please email sjcbanora@lism.catholic.edu.au for any enquiries.
Important Message from the Principal
“Do Not Be Afraid”
John 14:27
Opening School Mass
Thursday February 13, saw our College begin the year with a Commencement Mass.
For the year 2020 we will use the theme:
“Do Not Be Afraid”
We wholeheartedly welcome all new students and members of the community and parish.
Year 12 Formal
Thursday 24 November saw the running of the 23rd College Formal. From humble beginnings in 1997 where 43 students and family representatives attended the Coolangatta-Tweed Golf Club, the event has obviously grown in numbers. This year’s event saw close to 380 people in attendance at Seagulls.
It was a great evening with a great spirit in the room.
Congratulations Year 12!
“LEST WE FORGET”
On the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, a minutes’ silence is observed and dedicated to those soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation.
St Joseph’s College assembled in the Doyle Centre for a Remembrance Day Ceremony on Monday 11/11 to pay tribute to the men and women who serve in our defence forces and remember those who have died or suffered in conflicts, wars and peacekeeping operations.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
