Principals' Message

Dear St Joseph's Parents and Carers,

Catholic School Principals Conference

This week, we will be attending the Association of Catholic School Principals (ACSP) 2025 Conference. This year's conference promises to be an excellent professional learning experience with an inspiring theme: Living Waters: Leading with Hope, Inspiring Faith Communities. We look forward to coming together with other principals and leaders in education to engage in conversations and be inspired by their stories of faith, learning and wellbeing. 

Catholic Schools Week 2025

Pilgrims of Hope is our theme this year so please incorporate that into your CSW events/ campaigns. Please use these hashtags when posting #pilgrimsofhope2025 #CatholicSchoolsWeek2025.

Habemus Papam! 

(We have a Pope!)

We extend a warm welcome to Pope Leo XIV. His message of peace and unity resonates deeply with our community values. 

Our hearts are full of joy as we continue this Jubilee Year as Pilgrims of Hope led by Pope Leo.

Bishop Peter Murphy - 11th Bishop of Armidale

The Diocese of Armidale marked a momentous occasion on May 8th with the solemn ordination of Bishop Peter Murphy, our 11th Bishop. This historic liturgy brought together a wide representation of the Catholic community, including 29 bishops and 60 diocesan and visiting clergy. The Cathedral resonated with the presence of people from across the dioceses of Armidale, Wagga Wagga, and beyond. We warmly welcome Bishop Murphy to our diocese.
