About Josiah
Josiah College is a multi-denominational Christian school dedicated to nurturing, inspiring, and empowering students on the autism spectrum to thrive. Our autism-friendly environment provides the framework for students to engage with the Australian Curriculum through tailored support and personalised learning programs.
Our Josiah Compass guides and informs every aspect of our practice, underpinning our values and pastoral care.
With an emphasis on holistic development, we support each student in embracing their unique attributes. Our Junior School offers boundless opportunities for students from Prep to Year 6, while our Senior School caters for students from Year 7 through to Year 12.
Josiah College offers a purpose-built, secure environment, featuring well-appointed classrooms, breakout rooms, and extensive landscaped outdoor areas. School hours are from 9:00am to 2:30pm for the Junior School and 9:00am to 2:45pm for the Senior School.
Our Vision
A caring Christian community inspiring intelligent, hopeful engagement with our world.
Purpose
Because the world needs people of good character who pursue truth.
Culture and Pastoral Care Goals
- To maintain a staff who are actively practising Christians with an understanding of the importance of multi-denominationalism.
- To create programs that connect the Josiah and Emmanuel community and enable students, staff and parents to grow in an environment that is happy, challenging, supportive and non-threatening.
- To be a leading advocate of responsive, relative and relational education for young people with ASD so they can become empowered, confident members of our community.
