St Joseph’s College feels different. We are very proud of the special ethos at St Joseph’s, an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 2 to 18, which combines strong Christian values with a unique approach to supporting and nurturing children within a family environment. We challenge all of our students to ‘be their best’ in every aspect of College life and set high standards for everyone in our community. Parents, pupils and staff work together to ensure that we produce confident pupils without arrogance, team players who will stand up for what is right and compassionate, caring members of society. You are warmly invited to visit us at our beautiful 60 acre campus in Ipswich to discover for yourself what makes St Joseph’s feel so different.

Day 2 brought a new level of intensity.

The U18s played with uncompromising determination, whilst the U15 boys and U18 girls took centre stage for their trophy finals.

This is school rugby played at the highest standard.

As our team takes to the field, they’ll be wearing more than our colours...they’ll be wearing a piece of our history.

St Jo's collaborated with STC Teamwear to create this special kit to honour 40 years of the National Schools Rugby Festival hosted by St Joseph's College. On top of this, it captures our school’s heritage, pride and community.

With a late 80s inspiration, three chapel stars to honour our three winning years and 40 stripes for 40 years, this is more than a kit.

Designed by Patrick, a St Jo's OB, this year's kit perfectly captures the story that means so much to our school. The design celebrates the 40 squads who have represented the college and inspires our first XV to carry the St Jo's legacy forward.

Once part of our community, always part of our community. Thank you to Patrick and STC for what will be a phenomenal kit for the weekend ahead.

Pressure shows what you're really made of and our U15 boys continue to make us proud.

It's not just through their performances and achievements, but through their dedication, teamwork and the way they represent St Joseph's College. Our boys show what it means to work hard, support one another and give their very best, both on and off the pitch.

Congratulations to those in our U15 squad.

At St Joseph's College, rugby is about so much more than the sport.

It’s the hard work behind the scenes, the friendships built along the way, the resilience when things get tough and the pride that gets carried every time our team steps onto the field.

Our U18 boys represent everything we value as a school community, and watching them grow, challenge themselves and achieve together is what makes us proud.

Good luck this weekend boys.
