Mission & Values

 

Since the sisters established Skt. Josef’s School in 1904, it has been the mission that the school should be a place for all children, irrespective of belief, creed or background.

At Skt. Josef’s we strive to make every individual feel valued, happy and successful.  We encourage care, respect and responsibility, and integrity is prized. Working together in a safe, caring yet stimulating environment, we set high expectations whilst offering strong support, believing that this will lead to individuals who will succeed in their community.
