“To maintain a nurturing learning environment where every student is valued and respected as a child of God” - Principal's Vision

Kia ora

St Joseph’s is forming the leaders of tomorrow. Every student is encouraged to reach their full potential socially and academically in order to develop as a whole person, reflect Christ to others and become a valuable member of society.

We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children. We endeavour to provide robust lines of communication to ensure parents are fully engaged in their child’s academic programme. The school and family work together to maintain the high expectations required for children to meet their potential. However, education must not be limited to reading, writing and arithmetic. At St Joseph’s a balanced lifestyle is promoted through the delivery of a strong co-curricular programme including cultural, musical and sporting opportunities.

Student growth is fostered through a secure environment where each individual’s talents are recognised and appreciated. Sound restorative practices, consistent discipline and routines are all provided to lead to self-mastery and growth in virtue.
