Welcome to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School. This co-educational school, situated on 4.5 hectares with sweeping mountain views, opened its doors to children in January 1978 and was officially opened on 16 April in that year.
School commenced with thirty children in Years One and Two under the direction of foundation principal Mr Jack Eales. In recent years, our enrolment numbers have been increasing as the Bald Hills and Bracken Ridge areas continue to develop. In 2011, enrolments are over 600 with children in classes from Prep to Year Seven.
St Joseph's has significantly changed over the last decade with many new buildings. These include a new church in 2000, new classrooms in 2001 and 2002 and a three unit 'Prep' centre built during 2003 and opened in 2004. In 2006 a permanent home for Joey's Outside School Hours Care was constructed. In 2009 the Jack Eales Library was extended as was the staff room. In 2010, new Music and Art facilities and Learning Support Offices were built along with the multipurpose sports and performance centre named in honour of our parish priest, Fr Bernie Costigan.
