St. Joseph Catholic School

At St Joseph Elementary School, we are a faith partner together with the parish, the clergy and the parents, charged with the formation and education of the whole child.
We form students spiritually by giving them opportunities to develop a mature faith as witnessed by regular worship, moral decision-making and service out-reach; students academically by assisting them in mastering basic skills, developing the ability to reason and providing a responsible environment that encourages creativity; and students socially by engaging them in experiences which foster self-direction, leadership and team-building skills, which are developed in the classroom, on the fields of competition and within the parish.
