Prayer, Sacraments and Liturgy
The spiritual, moral, social, emotional and intellectual development of our students is paramount to a sound education. At St. Joseph’s, we seek to provide an environment where students feel welcome, known and safe. We aim to develop students who feel accepted and have an appreciation of the world. In partnership with their parents, we guide them to become inner directed people who make appropriate choices that are based on the gospel values of honesty, forgiveness, justice, compassion and equality.
We regularly celebrate together at Mass and in school based liturgies. We embrace the opportunities to gather together with the Parish community. These opportunities for worship build a strong sense of connectedness between school and the wider Parish.
We utilise the new Horizon's of Hope Religious Education Curriculum Framework and other programs and materials to support our teaching. Contemporary approaches to learning and teaching is incorporated within this sphere.

All baptised Catholic students receive the sacraments in the following order:
