St Joseph’s School provides an environment based on the Catholic Faith and Gospel Values, enabling the children to develop their full potential spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, physically and culturally.

Welcome to our school and parish community. We hope you will feel free to approach the Principal, Staff, Board members, PTA members and any of our parents, who will all be willing to help you if they can. The school recognises that good communication among all of us is vital for a successful and harmonious community. School is not just a place for children; it is a place for families. Spending more time at school will give the opportunity to learn and observe how the place is run. It is a chance to talk to other parents and see your child at work and play. We strongly encourage you to become involved in some capacity.

ATTITUDES AND VALUES Values are deeply held beliefs about what is important or desirable and generally influence attitudes and behaviour. They are expressed in the ways in which people think and act. Attitudes to learning strongly influence the outcome for our students. Teachers' expectations, the support of parents and the community, and students' attitude and motivation are all significant factors.
