About our school
The School and Church are located at 212 Boronia Road, Boronia – a property of approximately 14 acres. Situated in a natural environment with cherished remnant forest in the delightful outer-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, St Joseph’s Primary School, Boronia boats bright learning spaces with collaborative learning practices which engender happy, engaged and focussed learners, growing together in faith, love and knowledge.
A very proud parent community is actively engaged in connecting the home to school learing and making St Joseph’s the best school it can be. Our school provides a high quality, rigorous education which embraces and values diversity, student voice and gender equality.
St Joseph’s has a dedicated staff responsive to ongoing professional learning. Specialist teachers design, teach and assess sequential programs in Visual and Performing Arts, Physical Education and Indonesian from Prep to Year 6. The development of the whole child is fostered by our extensive curriculum which uses the Victorian Curriculum Framework and the Religious Education Curriculum Framework (Catholic Education Melbourne), and through structured Wellbeing processes, mindfulness, meditation and Restorative Practices which build positive and respectful relationships in the classroom and playground.
Future directions are determined by regular reviews of policies, programs and priorities under the guidance of the School Improvement Plan and School Advisory Council.
St Joseph’s provides a safe, fair and kind environment so all who learn within, can flourish.
