St Joseph’s School is an R-7 Catholic, co-educational school situated in the Clare Valley, 135 km north of Adelaide. The school caters for students and families from the wider Clare and Gilbert valleys. Faithful to the example of Jesus and our Josephite heritage, we focus on developing a welcoming, supportive community. We are committed to nurturing resilient, confident and educated young people who will develop openness to faith, a commitment to lifelong learning and service to the community. Our school is part of a larger parish community and we value their support. We also value the contribution and involvement of parents in a wide variety of ways and offer in return our considerable skills and commitment as Catholic educators in supporting their families. St Joseph’s School offers a rich variety of curriculum support programs including Seasons for Growth, Program Achieve, Rainbow Reading, Reading Recovery and QuickSmart. In addition to regular curriculum studies, our students benefit from Music tuition, Social Justice programs and involvement in Sacramental programs. Our Year 7 students also participate each year in the Pedal Prix and further their Civics and Citizenship knowledge through a visit to Canberra. St Joseph’s offers students a number of extracurricular activities such as Active After School Sport and provides access to OSHC. We have a very strong link with the SA Primary Schools Amateur Sports Association, gaining extremely high representation in district teams, with a number of our students gaining state selection in a variety of sports. Our school grounds and facilities have benefitted from the recent BER government funding, building on the already picturesque site which has received outstanding financial support from parents and parishioners over the years. Our ongoing investment in ICT infrastructure ensures our students have access to the latest learning tools and resources, as illustrated by the use of interactive whiteboards in every classroom. School enrolments have been steadily..
