St Joseph's School Gilgandra is a one stream K-6 Catholic school in the Bathurst Diocese and is situated in Gilgandra in the Central West of NSW. Our vision statement, 'For The Glory Of God We Give Of Our Best' emphasises our aim to give each child a complete education - spiritually, academically, physically, socially, culturally and emotionally. Christ is the centre of all we do. We strive to educate the whole child in an atmosphere that values excellence in all areas of endeavour in a climate of love and acceptance and Christian courtesy. Children need to be allowed to grow as valued members of a school community and provided with the opportunity to 'Give Of Their Best'. The staff at St Joseph's is continually looking at ways of improving the teaching of all Key Learning Areas to ensure a rewarding education for all students. The school is most fortunate to have a very supportive and hard working parent organization in the St Joseph's Parents and Friends Association. They raise a considerable amount of money each year for the school through fundraising events.
