Saint Joseph's Spirit of Social Justice at Work

As you may recall, at the end of Term 2 we celebrated the Feast of the Sacred Heart Mass. As a lead up to this celebration the SRC had coordinated donations of blankets and groceries to be distributed to our local community who may be in need. 

We welcomed  representatives from both Saint Vincent De Paul and from Merri Outreach Support Services who gladly accepted all of the goodies that had been collected. They both were amazed at the generosity of our community and our children's sense of Social Justice. Well done everyone.

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”  Mt 25:40

Religious Education at Saint Joseph’s 

We are a Catholic School that models Religious Education lessons around the teachings of the Gospel where we are all encouraged to be the best person that we can be. We promote curiosity and wonder when exploring themes of Social Justice and we approach this learning using an Inquiry method based on the Pedagogy of Encounter. We explore other religions in the context of the Christian faith and encourage tolerance and acceptance of all people and all religious denominations.
