COLLEGE CAPTAINS 2021

At St Joseph’s College, leadership is an important part of student learning.  Those of us fortunate to work at the college are regularly impressed by the quality of students who have been chosen as leaders. 

With this in mind I would like to commend and affirm all the students who applied for the roles that I am about to announce. You have shown courage and strength; we thank you for the privilege of meeting and talking with you. 

For 2021…

We are pleased to announce Lilly Phillips and Ned Torpey as the College Captains.

I would also like to congratulate Elly Pantazopoulos and Kevin Simmons on their appointment as the College Vice Captains.

These fine young men and women understand that to be a leader one should create positive and substantial change in small, every day ways.  In 2021, they will have the opportunity to prove that the concept of true leadership is inspired by integrity of heart and faith and accountable, responsible stewardship.

Congratulations and well done Lilly and Ned, Elly and Kevin, we are very proud of you. Thank you to all those who have assisted and inspired you on your journey to this point in time.
