Welcome to the webpage for St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School!
When visitors leave, we want them to understand that our Catholic religion is what drives our school.
The parish is a place of worship for Catholic schools.
In addition to the parish and the family, there are settings where we can develop as Jesus disciples.
The centre of our community is Jesus.
We learn to recognise and love Jesus in our studies, our prayers, in each other, and in everyone in our Catholic school community.
Our Catholic school's culture exudes a sense of community, so welcome! The Christian life is a call to a deeper communion with God and one another, and this is especially evident in our schools, which are rightly recognised as being families themselves, where nobody is a stranger and where everyone, regardless of background or academic ability, is welcomed, treasured, supported, and assisted in becoming the person that God has called them to be.
Our website is crucial because it provides a glimpse into our neighbourhood.
"We are all God's children, and we shall attempt to live, love, work, and serve as Jesus taught us," reads our mission statement.
