St Joseph's School is a Catholic primary school in Quarry Hill in central Bendigo. The school was established in 1906 and has an enrolment of approximately 240 students. St Joseph's is a Catholic community providing quality education where self esteem and individuality are nurtured in a safe, supportive and stimulating environment that reinforces gospel values. Special education, and student and family welfare, are an important focus at St Joseph's. We employed staff members specifically to cater to individual student needs and to support families in our community. An outside school hours care program is available each school night for the children. Programs in literacy and numeracy, creative and performing arts, PE (Bluearth), Indonesian, environmental studies, multimedia and technology support and extend the educational opportunities of our students. The addition of four new classrooms and a multi-purpose hall will further enhance student learning.
