No. We are an inclusive school and families from all faith groups and denominations as well as those seeking a Christian education are welcome at St Joseph’s.

St Joseph’s is a non government school and therefore does not receive full government funding. The school relies on the payment of school fees to cover all operational costs which allow us to continue in our delivery of an excellent primary school education.

More information about our school fees can be found on the Fees page.

Reception and Year 1 have a maximum enrolment of 25 students. Years 2 to Year 7 have a maximum of 29 students per class. Years 8 to Year 9 have a maximum of 30 students per class.
