Expos and regional visits

Country visits

St Joseph’s College participates in a number of expos and exhibitions throughout the year. Prospective, current and past families are very welcome to visit the Joeys stall at these events where staff will be on hand to answer all your questions.

Long working days and busy weekends often make it difficult for families to make the trip to Sydney to meet with staff and parents when choosing a school for their son.

St Joseph’s College Hunters Hill is one of the few Sydney-based schools whose student body is made up of a significant number of regional and rural boys and it remains Australia’s largest boarding school for boys.

It is important that boys grow up with great mates, that they are individuals but not alone. The boarding structure at Joeys has been built specifically for the needs of boys from every background.

Since 1881, families from across Australia have sent their sons to Hunters Hill for their educational experience. There is a wide range of reasons why families still choose to board in a city school including diversity, opportunities to undertake a greater range of co-curricular programs, access to state-of the-art facilities, as well as the ability to grow up surrounded by a like-minded and friendly community.

2024 visit dates

Each year the Headmaster and staff from the College, visit regions across New South Wales, as part of the Headmaster's Country Visits. These dinners give present and past parents, Old Boys and friends of the College an opportunity to catch up.

At our country functions, past parents, Old Boys and friends of the College, often meet up after many years apart, sharing stories with one another, and reminiscing about their own time at Joeys.

These special occasions also present a wonderful opportunity for prospective families to find out more about a Joeys education for their son. The continuity of a culture of boarders from rural and regional areas is a priority for us in this second Joeys century, as we strive to “keep the country in the College”. We look forward to being able to meet you and your family, as we visit your area in 2024.
