PERSONAL
Development
A Personal Development Education Program is taught to all children from Prep to Year 6. This program is explicitly taught through our Respectful Relationships Program.
​
The Joeys' Way
The Joeys’ Way seeks to incorporate all aspects of the Religious Life of the School. The Religious Life of the School incorporates four areas - Religious Identity and Culture, Prayer and Worship, Evangelisation and Faith Formation and Social Action & Justice.
​
At St Joseph’s, the Joeys’ Way is actively taught through specific lessons involving the School’s Identity and Culture, our 5 School Virtues of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Prayerfulness and Service as well as aspects of the Making Jesus Real (MJR) program. Students also focus on their social and emotional development through Mindfulness and the Smiling Minds Curriculum.
​
Our students aim to celebrate and live out ‘The Joeys’ Way’ through -
​
-
Celebrations of significant feast days relating to our school - St Joseph’s Day, Mary MacKillop’s feast day
-
Prayer assemblies and Liturgical celebrations i.e. Masses of specific Catholic events and Australian events
-
Special events - Mother’s Day breakfast, Father’s Day Cook Off, Grandparents Day
The Joeys’ Way is how we live out the Gospel Values, our School Virtues and our rich history in our daily lives
