We acknowledge Dja Dja Wurrung, the Djaara people, as the traditional custodians of the land on which St Joseph’s Primary School is built.   We pay our respects to the elders, past and present, and pay tribute to the unique role they play in the life of this region.   At St Joseph's school we are inspired by the world’s oldest living culture and celebrate their continuing contribution to the life of this region and the sharing of knowledge.   We call on the spirit ancestors to walk with us always as we share and learn together as one.

St Joseph's is committed to bringing an awareness of Reconciliation and the importance that this has on our Indigenous Australians, through our FIRE carrier program.  

We thank all of the students who applied to be FIRE carriers this year, we had 21 students apply and thank them all for the time they put into their applications.

We congratulate the following students on being chosen to be FIRE carriers this year:

Lucas C, Kayden B, Arabella H, Reuben C and Emmy D.

A commissioning ceremony for these students will take place at school on Thursday June 4 at 2.30pm.
