Green and White Online : Josephian Spirits

School Motto

Your College is named after Saint Joseph. Your school motto, "LABORE ET VIRTUTE" -- Work and Virtue -- sums up the life of this great Saint. He was a workingman, a carpenter by trade and his virtue made him worthy to be the foster-father of Christ. This motto expresses the spirit of your school too. It is by hard work and virtue that you will make a success of your life and so remain true to the best traditions of your College.

School Spirit You belong to a school with old and noble traditions. The Christian Brothers and their devoted school staff are willing to give you of their best. They are anxious that you make your own the Spirit of the School, and that you pass on to future pupils of ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE the spirit you have inherited. School Spirit can be seen in your loyalty to God, your commitment to your school duties and your care and concern for others. Your school therefore expects you to acquire good practices like: punctuality; respect for your teachers and schoolmates; personal discipline in behaviour and dress; obedience; honesty; and good sportsmanship.
