St. Josephs College is a Salesian Roman Catholic boys' secondary school in the outer-eastern suburb of Ferntree Gully, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ==History== The college's history is closely tied with the Salesians of Lysterfield (indeed, the parish priest of Ferntree Gully wanted the school to be called Don Bosco). The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne founded St. Josephs in 1965 as one of the strategic places. Classes began in February of that year with seventy Year 7 and 8 students. Most students came from the parishes of Belgrave, Ferntree Gully, Scoresby, Boronia, and Bayswater. The original building had three classrooms in it and a storeroom, and every year a class was filled up until there were all classes. In 2005, St Joseph's opened the Valdocco campus, solely for Year 9 students. Located at the rear of the property, separate from the main campus, Valdocco features special facilities such as a gym, a vineyard, and an animal farm with alpacas and chickens, in addition to standard classrooms for core education. Year 9 students who partake in Viticulture harvest grapes from the vineyard, which are made into wine. Students who choose to participate in Animal Husbandry are taught how to care for and maintain animals, and work with the alpacas and chickens. All Year 9 students are involved in the Discovery program, which employs practical work such as gardening, construction, and landscaping. In 2013, the Chieri Learning Centre replaced the school's library after its renovation. The centre features a range of furniture and spaces for students to work and collaborate, as well as library books and computers. The statue in front of the reception building featuring Jesus Christ and Saint Joseph was created by Brother Michael Harris and unveiled on St Joseph's Day in 2013. In 2014, the second floor Year 7 classrooms were renovated to become the Becchi Centre. Similar to the Chieri Centre, Becchi joins the Year 7 homerooms together, doubling them up in larger classrooms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Joseph's College, Ferntree Gully」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
