Love Jesus Love Learning Love Life
St Joseph’s Mission statement
At St Joseph’s it is our mission to provide a safe, caring and welcoming Catholic community. Our patron saint, St Joseph, was known as the silent saint, his humility inspires our school community everyday to show patience, love and acceptance to all. We believe in nurturing the whole child through Christian values and virtues. It is our mission to instil a love of learning, love of others and of self. We work together as a school community to develop our God given gifts and become the best version of ourselves.
Our aims are:
-
