ST JOSEPH'S SCHOOL

Saint Joseph’s School is a Catholic kura/school nestled in the heart of Friendly Feilding.  We are an inclusive, nurturing school that supports our tamariki/children to grow in their faith and in their relationship with Christ.  Our kura was established in 1906 by The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Nazareth (Josephites/Black Joeys) to serve the Roman Catholic Parish of Saint Brigid's.  We currently have a roll of around 80 ākonga (students), aged from New Entrants to Year 8.  An experienced and faith filled staff support our tamariki in their learning and individual faith journeys. 

We have a strong connection with our parish.  This has been strengthened through our Young Vinnies programme.  Mary MacKillop's phrase, "Never see a need without doing something about it," can be seen through service and outreach, which our students provide to our community.  We enjoy sharing celebrations and important events as a school and parish community.  

Through a vibrant prayer life, uplifting liturgies, regular weekday masses and a robust religious education curriculum, we endeavour to facilitate a meaningful encounter with Christ.  Catholic Social Teachings are taught and integrated into all we do and they are an integral part of who we are as a community.  Liturgical celebrations and feast days are often shared with the parish, which nurtures and develops our faith and knowledge of our Catholic traditions.
