From Humble Beginnings to a Pacific Legacy: Celebrating 75 Years of St Joseph’s College, Samoa

From 17–20 July, St Joseph’s College in Samoa celebrated a truly special milestone - its 75th anniversary.

Former students returned from across the Pacific - Fiji, Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, and beyond - to honour the legacy of a school that began as something small but grew into one of the most enduring signs of Marist education in the region.

Over the years, the college has formed leaders in many walks of life - from celebrated rugby players to national politicians and dedicated community servants.

Here are a few photos from the celebrations. May our Good Mother and Marcellin continue to shine their light on St Joseph’s, and may its alumni continue to carry that light into the world.
