Christchurch Catholic Primary School

School montage

St Joseph’s School has a long and proud history. It was opened in 1878 and is now the largest Catholic primary school in the diocese.

We are an extremely well resourced school. Our school buildings and grounds are wonderful assets. In addition all classrooms are networked for computer use and we have a computer suite used by every classroom. Our recently renovated administration block and library complement the nine new classrooms built in the past six years.

However, without doubt, our greatest asset are "our people." There is a real sense of community, ownership, commitment and pride in our school from parents, children and staff alike. This is an integral part of the culture of our school and is to be valued highly.

We enjoy a close relationship with the priest of the parish. He visits classrooms on a regular basis to help us enhance the special character of the school.

Our aim is "to make a difference" to our students not just academically but spiritually and socially as well.

Mark Gregory
Principal
