St Joseph’s Catholic School is a co-educational primary school for children from Kindergarten to Year 6, guided by our school motto, “Build in Love.” This value underpins everything we do – as we learn and grow together.
We are a nurturing community where every child is truly known. Our school environment allows strong relationships to flourish across all year levels, with students regularly connecting across grades and taking on leadership roles and responsibilities. We are also proud of our close and welcoming parent community, which offers many opportunities for connection, partnership and involvement.
St Joseph’s is a faith-based school, and we are committed to developing the whole child – academically, socially, physically and spiritually. We build strong links with our Parish community and authentically embed Catholic values into the lived experiences in the classroom. Student wellbeing and leadership are at the heart of our school culture. Through programs such as Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) and our Buddy Program, children are supported to live our shared values of being Safe, Respectful Learners.
We recognise that every child develops at their own rate and thrive when their learning needs are met. Teachers carefully monitor each student’s academic and social-emotional progress and adjust learning to meet the needs of students – because one size does not fit all. Our passionate teachers hold high expectations and foster a love of learning by teaching students not just what to think, but how to think.
The strength of St Joseph’s lies in the positive partnerships between parents, teachers and students. Our community actively supports the school and works together to ensure the very best outcomes for every child.
At St Joseph’s Narrabeen, you will find a warm, inclusive and supportive environment – a true “village” where children and families feel known, valued and cared for.
