St Joseph's Primary School Schofields 78 Alex Avenue, Schofields, New South Wales 2762

Welcome to St Joseph's Primary School Schofields, a Catholic establishment located at 78 Alex Avenue in Schofields, Australia. As a primary school, we are dedicated to providing quality education and support to our students.

Catholic schools are highly sought after in Australia, enrolling approximately 20% of school students. At St Joseph's, we offer a comprehensive education from Kindergarten to Year 6. Our annual tuition fees vary based on the grade level, but we offer significant discounts for second and third children, and there are no fees for fourth and subsequent children.

In addition to tuition fees, there is a Diocesan School Building Levy charged per family per year, as well as school-based fees set by the school. However, we strive to make education accessible to all students and offer support for families with diverse needs.

We welcome students with additional needs and aim to provide appropriate educational opportunities and support. Our school evaluates the general enrolment criteria, as well as the additional needs of the student and our capacity to meet them. We work closely with parents to ensure the best interests of the student are met, and in some cases, alternative school placements might be considered.

At St Joseph's, we celebrate diversity and individuality by recognizing and providing for differences in learning styles, rates of learning, strengths, and needs. We offer a range of pastoral care and learning support programs, including interventions for literacy and numeracy, counseling services, and a Protective Behaviours program.

Parent involvement is highly valued at our school, and we encourage parents and carers to contribute to the school community. We believe that building a strong community is crucial for the success of our students.

For families in need of out-of-hours care, Ambrose Early Years Learning and School Aged Care operates a well-resourced center on our school grounds. This safe and secure environment encourages positive social interaction for students in Years K-6. We encourage all families to enroll their children into our Ambrose Out of Hours Care center to ensure they are well taken care of in case of an unplanned need.

To maintain a safe environment for our students, all volunteers in our school are required to complete the building child safe communities undertaking form and child protection training module before volunteering. These measures are part of our strategy to build child safe communities and reduce potential risks.

We are proud to partner with Oz Fashions as our uniform supplier and online shop operator. Parents can easily make uniform purchases through their online shop.

Thank you for considering St Joseph's Primary School Schofields for your child's education. We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant and inclusive school community.
