About the Business
Welcome to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Oatley, Australia! Our school is a vibrant and nurturing institution that provides a place for students to grow, learn, and thrive. Located on Rosa Street, our beautiful campus offers a village environment that encourages curiosity, engagement, and achievement in education.
At St Joseph's, we pride ourselves on our experienced teaching staff who truly know our students. This deep involvement allows us to provide a well-rounded education and drive strong academic outcomes. We believe in fostering a strong sense of community and connectedness between parents, staff, students, and the parish. This ensures that the interests and passions of each child are realized and nurtured.
As a Catholic school, we acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land, the Dharug people. We honor their rich history and the deep spiritual connections they have to the land, water, and community. We also extend our recognition to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families in our country.
As the principal of St Joseph's, I am guided by the words of St Mary Mackillop, who said, "we must teach more by example than by word." I am passionate about building a strong community where students, staff, parish, and families work together to make our school the best it can be. Our school is truly unique, with qualities such as a warm and welcoming community, dedicated and caring teachers, authentic learning opportunities, and a focus on individual growth.
Our commitment to Catholic education is unwavering, and we take pride in our professionalism and collegiality. Our principles of learning reflect our belief that students learn best when they are engaged, inquisitive, and driven to achieve. Situated in the village of Oatley, our school provides students with a time to learn and a place to grow.
St Joseph's Catholic Primary School Oatley was established in 1955, with the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart as the first teachers. They taught in the school until 1979. Today, we are inspired and guided by the spiritual gifts of St Joseph, St Mary of the Cross, and Our Lady Help of Christians. St Joseph, as the guardian of the Redeemer and protector of the Church, serves as a model of humility and dedication to family.
At St Joseph's, we embrace the values of simplicity, hospitality, and generosity, as encouraged by the Sisters of St Joseph. We also heed the call of St Mary of the Cross Mackillop to never see a need without taking action. Under the protection of Mary Help of Christians, patroness of Australia, we strive for harmony, justice, and peace.
Our mission at St Joseph's Catholic Primary School Oatley is to educate our children within the framework of an authentic Catholic community. Jesus Christ is at the center of our school, and we are called to unity in Him. We nurture the individual development of each child, recognizing and fostering their intellectual, social, physical, spiritual, and emotional dimensions.
As part of our commitment to faith, St Joseph's Catholic Parish Church sits conveniently next door to our school. We work closely with the parish to ensure our students grow in faith, knowledge, and peace. Our parish priest, Fr Paul, frequently visits our school and enjoys a weekly morning tea with the staff. He also connects with students in their classrooms to discuss our faith. We celebrate Mass with the parish community each term, strengthening the bond between our school and the parish.
Everyone is welcome to join our parish family, so if you are new, please make yourself known to Fr Paul. St Joseph's Catholic Primary School Oatley is part of the Sydney Catholic Schools system, which includes over 150 low-fee Catholic schools in the Sydney Archdiocese.
