School Information

St Joseph's Catholic School is a decile 4 full primary in Central Auckland. -456 Great North Road Grey Lynn.

St Joseph's has adopted the Values of Mary MacKillop. These values are expressed in our philosophy, the way we are organised and our interpersonal relationships. We encourage and model these values with the students and they will be an integral part of our curriculum and the approach we take.

The values are 'Make room for all'- Respect, compassion for others, love

                    'Do your bit'- consideration of others, responsibility, justice.

                    'Listen to God's call.'- love,respect, commitment,devotion

                    'An attitude of gratitude.'- positive attitude to life, respect, devotion.

We are small in number (100 students) but mighty in Spirit and are able to enrol a maximum of 225 students. Our size enables staff to really get to know your child personally and best cater to the needs of all students.

We are from a variety of cultures and we value the uniqueness that each contributes to the mighty St Joseph's spirit.

 We encourage leadership and community feeling with our students with House Captains (Y6 boy, Year 8 girl), Librarians, Cool School Mediators, Fitness Instructors and we all look after each other just like a big family.

We have a music room with a very talented Teacher Aid who runs class music as well as Ukelele groups, junior percussion groups and choirs.

Every 2 years we have a Fiafia Night which showcases our many cultures and in the second year we run a production with all the students involved.We have put on The Jungle Book and this year we will be putting on The Wizard of Oz.

We are a Duffy Book school.Our students love to read the duffy books and books from the school Library.
