St Joseph’s School is situated in a very unique setting. It is set between Port Phillip Bay and the back beaches facing Bass Strait. The surrounding beaches, lack of busy traffic and beautiful scenery place the school in the most idyllic of settings. It is within walking distance to the township of Sorrento.

At St. Joseph’s School, we create a welcoming environment, which fosters mutual respect and co-operation for all people within the School/Parish community. Our school offers experiences, which encourage children to participate in their parish and develop their sense of belonging.

We acknowledge and encourage the family as the first and constant influence in the education of faith and we nurture the family atmosphere in our school by working in partnership with parents. Our curriculum aims to foster the academic, pastoral and faith development of each child.

We lead each child to an understanding that they are special and we aim to develop their gifts and talents to their full potential. We work towards developing positive self-esteem, assisting the children in becoming confident, active Christian members of the wider community.

School values are Respect, Integrity, Persistence, Collaboration, Learning and Resilience.

Multi-age classrooms are used from year 1-6. Multi-age classes are restricted to two year levels. A teamwork approach to curriculum planning promotes consistency of delivery throughout the entire school. Programs of individual assistance are provided to students experiencing difficulty with reading, writing and numeracy; this includes Reading Recovery as required.
