The College motto is ‘Virtue Courage’. This recalls the spiritual and dynamic leadership of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop and the founding Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart. It inspires our students with the courage to make decisions based on what is right and to strive with courage to use all the gifts and talents which God has given them. We are a College that promotes values and experiences that enable learning, life and community to flourish. Mount St. Joseph Girls’ College has a rich heritage of striving for excellence in academic endeavour whilst nurturing young women to believe, lead, inspire and challenge.
The educational programs at the College maximise student learning and engagement through curiosity, creativity and collaboration. In a safe and contemporary learning environment, we encourage a love of learning through an innovative, dynamic and challenging curriculum. All students are encouraged and supported to strive for personal excellence. The uniqueness, integrity and dignity of each person is respected and valued at the College.
Today, we continue to provide high quality girls’ Catholic secondary education within the charism of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop.
