The St Joseph’s School Family
St Joseph’s School is a Catholic co-educational primary school catering for students from Prep to Year 6. Our school family encompasses both the school community and St Joseph’s Parish. St Joseph’s School fosters a secure and friendly environment where positive and healthy relationships are nurtured. Our professional staff is highly motivated and makes every effort to assist each child to achieve their very best. Our staff members are extremely approachable and encourage active communication with parents.
A Nurturing Environment
At St Joseph’s, the self-worth of each individual, staff or student is respected.
- We endeavour to assist children in their spiritual, emotional, physical, academic and social growth.
- We provide a “whole school” approach to planning, implementing and monitoring of education programs
so that the individual needs of each child can be successfully addressed.
- St Joseph’s School has implemented a Behaviour Management program that is a process involving all staff, parents and every student from Preparatory Year to Year 6 teaching the expected, appropriate behaviours.
