NAU MAI HAERE MAI, WELCOME TO ST JOSEPH'S CATHOLIC SCHOOL

Welcome to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

St. Joseph’s is a Catholic school with a very long and proud history. The school is well-known in the local community and throughout the Waikato, particularly in Catholic Education circles. Our school places great emphasis on students feeling valued and happy. This in turn assists them greatly with their academic achievement.

It is extremely important for all members of the school community to believe in what our school offers, provides and stands for. The children excel in a positive environment. We focus on delivering quality education to our students within a Catholic environment.

Our teaching team works extremely hard to provide stimulating and challenging programmes for the students. The students are provided with many opportunities to extend themselves. Each term sees many exciting programmes and activities occurring.

As a successful school, we will always encourage more families to join us. This is extremely important for our future direction. Our world is developing at a very fast pace. It is important for all children to have opportunities to learn and develop academically, spiritually, physically and emotionally within a safe and stimulating environment.

St. Joseph’s School offers many opportunities. Our children are our future leaders. We intend for them to have the best possible start by providing quality education. I hope you and your family enjoy many happy years at our wonderful school.
