About Us

Welcome to St Joseph's! We offer you not only a school of learning dedicated to providing a quality education,
but also a community of faith which openly recognises Christ and seeks to live and proclaim His Gospel
message.

St Joseph's currently hosts over 300 students and 40 staff. Established over 100 years ago by the Josephite
Sisters, the school is presently under the guidance of Fr Darren Howie. St Joseph's celebrated its centenary in
2012.

Here at St Joseph’s School, we are committed to supporting you as the first and primary educators of your
children. We believe that schooling is a partnership. It is in working as partners – in supporting and encouraging
each other’s efforts that we benefit in bringing children to a genuine knowledge of themselves and of the world in
which they live. Together it is hoped that efforts of co-operation and mutual support will complement each other
through the sharing of a common vision and of common goals.

Each child and parent wishing to enrol at St Joseph’s must strive to uphold the values of this school. We are
called to participate actively in maintaining the special character of the school’s faith and cultural identity, and
agree to become a part of a community of learners, who are seeking knowledge of the world and of its Creator.
Our commitment is to bring together faith and learning in ways that are real and meaningful to our own lives, and
which ultimately reflect the life and message of Jesus Christ.

Yours in providing the very best in Catholic Education,

Joanne Coldebella
Principal
