St Joseph’s Catholic College runs an extensive extracurricular program to enrich and diversify the education of our students.
Enrol Today!
Australian Catholic Youth Festival
The ACYF is a national gathering of Catholic young people established by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference. It exists to provide young people with opportunities to deepen their relationship with Jesus, be empowered to be disciples in the world today and encounter and celebrate the vitality of the Church in Australia.
The ACYF will take place at Sydney Showgrounds in Homebush from Thursday 7th to Saturday 9th December 2017. Students attending the ACYF will miss two school days.
St Joseph’s Catholic College is committed to a large-scale engagement of our students with the ACYF. We believe it to be a vital opportunity to encourage our students in their faith and involvement in the life of the church.
At St Joseph’s we are inviting all students from Years 9, 10, 11 to attend the festival. The students will be prepared before the festival, supervised by our staff during the festival and given opportunities after the festival for reflective evaluation.
