St Joseph’s Regional College is part of St Agnes’ Parish Secondary Schools, catering for approximately 1,100 students. These students, from Years 7 to 12, are given a holistic Catholic education about 10km west of Port Macquarie, New South Wales. The school was formed in 1969, and first opened for students in Years 7 to 10 by the Sisters of St Joseph. Since then, it has grown to cater for the final two years of high school, moving across a number of sites and building more facilities, including most recently a chapel, and stage in the College Hall. The school’s vision, “Everything is to be orientated towards the praise and glory of God”, encourages students to apply Christian values to their life while striving to do their best. The school aims to create a family atmosphere with its teachers, and be united with the parish school community.
