St Joachim's Catholic Primary School is a small coeducational school of 180 pupils. Founded in 1938 by the Sisters of St Joseph the school continues today to be guided by the ethos of the Sisters of sty Joseph. Our Mission Statement states that our school is a Christ centred Catholic community of faith seeking to develop each person to their full potential for the greater glory of God. As a Josephite school we endeavour to live by the values of: respect for others, God and self, Acceptance; Reconciliation; Socially Just Practices and Enthusiasm for learning. Our Vision for our community is to be a Catholic community of believers who teach, challenge and transform To develop skills of life-long learning in an ever changing contexts; an environment that is inclusive and that creates a sense of joy as well as endeavouring to develop students that are resilient, creative, individual and who have a sense of purpose. At St Joachim's we offer a full Queensland Curriculum and have speciality subjects of Music, Physical Education and Italian. Some students also learn Instrumental Music and Speech and Drama as well as Choir and are invited to display their developing talents each year in our annual November Arts Afternoon. Our school is becoming more involved in our local community and regularly take part in local RSL ANZAC Day Parades and Remembrance Day Ceremonies. Inspired by the spirit of Mary MacKIllop the staff of St Joachim's School endeavour to make all learning activities interesting and a valuable experience for all students.
