STARTING school is a great milestone in a child’s life.
Each child is special with their own interests and gifts.
St Joseph’s Primary School in Kerang recognises this and values the individuality of all children.
Principal Chris Mitchell said the school offered a “balanced” curriculum focused on the academic, social, emotional, physical, spiritual and creative development of each child in an environment that is “faithful to our Catholic tradition”.
“Respect of self, others and the environment are important at St Joseph’s, and we therefore promote and teach positive behaviours throughout our school.
“It is important that our school environment be one where children feel happy and safe.
“Such an environment allows students to be engaged in their learning and experience success at school.”
Mr Mitchell said there was a professional and dedicated staff “who give generously of their time and expertise to ensure that children receive the best opportunities possible to succeed”.
“We pride ourselves on being a professional learning community and the motto that drives our work everyday is ‘ensuring learning for all’,” he said.
“To ensure all our students are successful in their learning, we offer many additions to our curriculum, both from an academic and a wellbeing perspective, such as MiniLIt, MacqLit, Toe by Toe, Bond Blocks and counselling services.
“At St Joseph’s, we share the responsibilities of education in partnership with parents.
“We are fortunate to have supportive families who contribute greatly to the life and sense of community at our school.
“We are proud of our school and warmly welcome all visitors.”
School tours are running for prospective families and students.
