St Joseph's School offers a holistic education within a Catholic Christian ethos that develops and values the uniqueness of the individual. A comprehensive Religious Education program provides students with the opportunity to know, understand and develop their faith. Each student is challenged to contribute to God's creation in a way that leads to personal growth and is life giving. St Joseph's primary campus has implemented pastoral care programs that focus on improving the self- esteem of students and has led to greater awareness of issues associated with bullying, harassment and social inclusion. Gender-specific classes have been introduced in junior secondary years as a strategy to improve engagement and student achievement. In addition, science extension classes provide the opportunity for students to engage in a challenging science study. Senior secondary schooling offers a broad curriculum with the opportunity to take pathways that are tertiary, vocational or a combination of both. All students have access to a range of new technologies that support and extend learning opportunities. St Joseph's has strong community and parent support and involvement.
