About St Joseph's Catholic College
St. Joseph's is indeed a unique place to be for both students and staff. It is a high achieving, multi-cultural College where raising aspirations is seen not only in terms of academic achievement but more importantly as a preparation for its students to be active, caring, fulfilled citizens in an ever changing world.
Learning and teaching along with personal development and wellbeing continue to be priority areas at the College for all our students from Year 7 through to Year 13.
There is a high emphasis placed on the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) of our staff as we realise the importance that this has in both raising aspirations and impacting on students’ achievements. This year the focus is on ‘Gifted and Talented’ training.
The College now has its own Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Students and parents can now access College resources and information. I believe this is leading to improved communication between students, parents and the College.
St. Joseph's is a truly special place where every child really does matter. At St. Joseph's we have always considered ourselves as a family, ultimately wanting the best for each other. I hope that it will continue to be a College that succeeds in its aim to enable students to fulfil their infinite potential by being an innovative, energising place for both students and staff.
