It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to St Joseph’s Primary School, Alstonville. For over 100 years, we have provided our students from across the Northern Rivers with a rich faith-based education guided by our Gospel values and grounded in our Catholic traditions.

At St Joseph’s, everyone is welcome and will feel cared for, valued and respected. We are dedicated to giving our students the freedom to grow and develop community connections with opportunities for academic, cultural, social and sporting success. We offer a diverse learning environment that challenges and supports our students to achieve the fullness of life. 

We are committed to effective relationships. At St Joseph’s, we develop a deep sense of family spirit that is based on strong relationships and authentic connections between home and school. We believe that parents are the first and foremost educators of their children, and together we will accompany you through your child’s positive and fulfilling school experience.

As principal of St Joseph’s, it is a privilege to lead a faith-filled, Catholic learning community that acknowledges, values and responds to the needs of each student and where positive relationships and hope flourish. From the moment our students enter Kindergarten, their innate sense of wonder and enthusiasm is sparked through learning experiences that develop a genuine love of learning that lasts a lifetime. 

I encourage you to contact our school to arrange a tour.
