Our Offer:

We offer families a 'values based' education which provides intellectual challenge, exposes children to a wealth of extra-curricula opportunities, all contributing to each child's moral foundation.

St Joseph's graduates leave our community with the following gifts:

  1. Respect for themselves
  2. Respect for others and their differences
  3. Appreciation of the concepts of honesty, integrity, fairness, compassion and tolerance
  4. Nurtured love of their God
  5. Confidence to appropriately address the testing challenges that will inevitably face them in their future.

We Value...

  1. Christian Faith:
    1. As Jesus commanded, we should love one another as he loves us
    2. We should understand that we are here together, look for the best in one another and strive to get along.
  2. Morals based education clearly understanding the difference between right and wrong.
  3. Diversity respecting each child's uniqueness and the special attributes they bring to the school.
  4. Self confidence: Each of us has a responsibility to speak out if we see something that is not right.
  5. We need to make decisions and be able to live with the consequences.
  6. Intellectual challenge - we believe our students learn best through:
    1. Small class sizes resulting in close individual contact.
    2. Establishing learning challenges appropriate to their intellectual capabilities, with close attention to both remedial and extension needs.
  7. Exposure to the Arts and Sports:
    1. Giving all our children the opportunity to participate in Music, Performance and Visual Arts programmes to extend their future choices.
    2. Participation in a range of Sports programmes to build self confidence, physical ability and good health and, again, open the door to future opportunities.
