Principal’s Message
Welcome to St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Moorebank. As you navigate through our website you will learn that St Joseph’s is a school with a strong sense of community with Christ at its centre. We are a school that promotes the development of our student’s academic, spiritual and creative gifts and talents. In taking up the opportunities offered here your child and your family will experience a real sense of belonging to a dynamic and supportive community.
St Joseph’s School was officially opened in 1975. The school began that year with 27 Kindergarten students. The original building had six classrooms, as classes were added each year until 1981 when it catered for girls from K–6 and boys from K–4. In 1990, with the closure of the primary section of Patrician Brothers’ College Liverpool, St Joseph’s boys were retained at the school to Year 6. In 2008 new vibrant and spacious Kindergarten classrooms were built. The school has undergone many internal classroom changes to facilitate contemporary 21st century learning.
The school has continued to grow from a one stream to two stream and now three stream in some grades, still maintaining a tight knit community feel. Many of our children’s parents and their grandparents attended the school.
In 1973 St Joseph’s Parish was established from the older parish of Liverpool, to serve the growing residential area. The parish priest, Fr Terrence Duggan, and Archdiocesan authorities decided that a parish school was warranted, and a funding grant was obtained from the Commonwealth government.
