Welcome to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School Dungog

St Joseph's Primary School, Dungog is committed to the provision of quality education in a caring and nurturing Christian environment that is welcoming, friendly, just and compassionate to the needs of all. Our school implements a positive behaviours framework for Learning.

Our school expectations are created around the value of respect:

Respect for ourselves

Respect for others

Respect for our learning

Respect for the environment

Providing a holistic education that aims to develop each student academically, socially, mentally and physically, the staff of St Joseph's continually endeavour to improve upon the levels of student achievement in various Key Learning Areas (KLAs), particularly Literacy and Numeracy.

We are a school that is steeped in history well equipped with tremendous up-to-date facilities and IT resourcing.

Students at St Joseph’s are involved in a broad range of community activities throughout the year including many opportunities to raise funds for those less fortunate then ourselves.

At St Joseph’s we believe every child :

• Is on a faith journey, made in the image and likeness of our God.
• Will be nurtured and challenged to become the best version of themselves.
• Is a competent and accomplished learner whose contributions are valued.

Our school share close links with our parish church St Mary’s. Both the parish and school community regularly combine for weekday Masses.
