WELLBEING

At St Joseph’s we believe that wellbeing is of the utmost importance to a child’s learning and development.

STUDENT HEALTH

Students who are unwell should not attend school. Children with infectious diseases must be excluded for specified times and parents are asked to inform the school immediately. Click below to view the Recommended Exclusion Periods, produced by the Queensland Department of Health.

SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, being true to its mission as an authentic Catholic school, aims to move beyond management of student behaviour and extend to the transformation of student actions and attitudes to enable them to engage in learning and reach their full potential. This process of transformation involves empowering students to develop the skills and mindset to be both personally and socially responsible for their own behaviour. We strive to be a home away from home, where everyone feels a sense of belonging and safety, where our virtues of Mercy, Compassion, Justice, Service and Excellence are more than words, they are a lived reality, defined by the life example given to us by Jesus Christ.
