St Joseph's School, Warragul, is a Catholic primary school situated 130 km from Melbourne in the rolling hills of West Gippsland. St Joseph's believes that developing caring and nurturing relationships is at the centre of all we do, underpinned by a strong awareness of Christian values. Our staff are dedicated, professional and focussed on meeting the needs of all children at our school. Parents are encouraged to be active participants in the life of the school and there are many opportunities for parents to be involved. We believe that children learn best when in an encouraging, stimulating and supportive learning environment. Our classrooms are modern and appealing, and we have a well resourced ICT program. We also have trained literacy and numeracy intervention teachers, and teacher aides to assist children who struggle in these important areas. We offer Reading Recovery in Year 1, Rainbows Reading (reading intervention) in Years 2-6, Bridges (reading intervention) in Years 3-6 and EMU (mathematics intervention) in junior primary. Situated next to Marist-Sion Catholic Secondary College, Prep-Year 12 Catholic education is offered to families on the same site.
