Inspired by Mary Mackillop we strive to achieve excellence in education and pastoral care, foster well-being, develop strong values and include all cultures and community members.
Situated in the beautiful East Kimberley, our school offers a challenging and engaging environment for all children. At St Joseph's Primary School, we strive to develop the whole of each child - academically, socially and spiritually. Our staff are a committed team who work collaboratively to ensure children feel safe, happy and engaged with their learning each day. We believe that staff working together with our families will provide the best possible outcomes for all children. We are committed to providing opportunities for children to care for themselves, others and the environment as we consider the local indigenous culture and our responsibility to connect with local and global issues. We continue to draw inspiration from the words spoken by St Mary of the Cross Mackillop: 'Never see a need without doing something about it.'
Small School. Big Heart.
Being situated so far from Perth presents our students with opportunities metro based schools can only dream of. With world-class destinations on a door-step, and the rich Aboriginal culture all around us, we are blessed to be here.
Distance also doesn’t mean our students miss out on a modern education. These young learners enjoy the latest technological advances, whilst experiencing smaller class sizes, a caring teaching environment, and programs that ensure the students are both challenged and supported.
