Think you know Joeys? Take another look.
Whilst Joeys may be best known for its success on the rugby field, the school boasts outstanding academic results and a wonderfully rich curriculum with accelerant programs in Mathematics, Business Studies and Religion.
For boys beginning in Year 7, Joeys offers an academic transition program, STRIVE, which arms them with the tools they’ll need to succeed in their secondary school years. STRIVE teaches time management, organisational and study skills as well as what it means to be a good learner.
At Joeys, you’ll also discover outstanding educational opportunities across Creative and Visual Arts, Drama and Music. The Joeys extra curricular program has evolved to include robotics, coding, chess club and much more. And, this year Joeys were crowned champions in the GPS debating competition, achieving number one and two placements.
A Joeys boy is balanced, well-rounded and enjoys a holistic education in an environment where he can thrive in every area of his life.
