Community

Our Community
A school community is a group of the people intimately attached to a school, its teachers, administrators, pupils, and the pupils families. Our school community is very important to us and we are very proud of all those who contribute to it.

Parents form an important part of the school community. Parent Involvement is given priority in our school. Parents are encouraged to visit school on regular occasions, partake in decisions concerning their daughters and are given constant updates of what goes on in School.

The Staff at St Joseph Junior School is made up of members of the Senior Management Team, teachers, LSAs and Administration. They form a team of dedicated professionals who strive to bring out every individual child’s potential.

The Pupils themselves form an integral part of the School Community; their holistic development and growth is the reason for the existence of our School.
