THEME - PARATUS

Paratus, prepared in all things, ready for anything.

Lift your eyes, as the gleaming light shines upon Josephians once again.

In a year from now, Saint Joseph’s College will be celebrating its 150th anniversary. The brilliance of our alumni, the hard work of our students, have all led up to this point. However, before we celebrate this enormous milestone, we must fully prepare ourselves and get ready for any upcoming challenges in order to make this celebration flawless. Therefore, we are proud to present the theme for this year’s Green and White Day- Paratus.

As this is the final year before the 150th anniversary, members of the school, no matter students or teachers, clubs or sports teams, all have a similar objective- to do everything in their power to prepare the school for this immense achievement.

Paratus accurately represents the current mindsets of Josephians as now is the best time for us to absorb valuable experiences and equip ourselves with the knowledge required. All of us, together, preparing for the tough challenges ahead and continuing to keep the green and white flag flying high.

Sons of Saint Joseph’s valiant and true.
