We are a Catholic School with a multi-faith community that includes parents, staff and students, and the wider Catholic community where God is named and recognised. We reflect Gospel values and the teachings of the Catholic Church in our policies, structures and relationships.


Our school provides for the education of children of the Catholic community by maintaining its distinctive character as a Catholic school while remaining open to the genuine desire of Catholic families along with families from a full range of backgrounds in our community who seek a Christian education for their children.

We are open to the genuine desire of families of other Christian denominations who choose a Christian education for their children and rely on commitment from students, parents, staff and the wider Catholic community as well as the Catholic Education System in supporting all aspects of school life.

St. Joseph’s School is a space of learning, creating, innovating and reimagining. We are engaged learners, relationship builders, empowered creators and inquisitive thinkers.
