Welcome to our school website. We acknowledge that our school stands on Awabakal land and pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of this land, past and present.
St Joseph’s is a vibrant Catholic school within the MacKillop Parish, offering excellence in teaching and learning from Kindergarten to Year 6. Founded by the Sisters of St Joseph, we take great pride in our Josephite heritage. Our core values—Striving High, Living Like Jesus, and Caring for the Environment—are at the heart of everything we do.
We are committed to providing contemporary, engaging learning experiences in flexible, collaborative spaces. Our dedicated teachers work together to deliver high-quality programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of all learners. We embrace inclusivity and provide strong support for students with additional needs, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for every child.
At St Joseph’s, we value authentic relationships and open communication with our students, families, and staff. Each member of our community is recognised as being created in the image of Jesus, and we strive to develop well-rounded students who are prepared for the future—forward-thinking, compassionate, and hope-filled citizens of today and tomorrow.
Our students have access to a wide range of academic, cultural, and sporting opportunities throughout the year. We offer extra-curricular activities such as band, choir, public speaking, lunch clubs, and a variety of sports. Our unique bushland setting allows children to explore and engage with nature through creative outdoor play areas like Loose Parts, fostering curiosity, imagination, and collaboration.
We deeply value the strong sense of community at St Joseph’s. We believe that a positive partnership between home and school is essential for student success. When children feel happy, secure, and valued, their learning flourishes. Our Bounce Back program supports students’ social-emotional wellbeing, teaching them resilience and positive thinking to help them grow academically and personally.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family into our community. Through this website, you can explore the many opportunities available to our students and discover what makes St Joseph’s such a special place.
God bless,
Mrs Kathryn Hill
Principal
