Room 9

Kia Ora Tatou everyone and welcome to Room 9's page.

  We are a class of Year 6, 7 & 8 students and look forward to an exciting

journey of building learning and faith. 

As a school with multicultural ethnicities we are privileged to share our story and culture. 

The Special Character of the school will be the focal point of who

 we are and what we do at St.Joseph's Catholic School. The charism

of St.Mary of the Cross will continue to be fostered across all

curriculum areas and the school life of every student.
