1. The School Catholic Mission and Behaviour

At St Joseph’s Primary, a supportive and inclusive Catholic parish school, we are committed to enabling all students to achieve the fullness of life (John 10:10). Our approach to behaviour is grounded in the principles of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and current research from Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO), which promotes proactive, respectful, and restorative practices that foster a safe and engaging learning environment for all.

We believe that behaviour is learned and can be positively influenced through clear expectations, consistent support, and meaningful relationships. In partnership with families and the broader community, we work collaboratively to teach, model, and reinforce positive behaviours that reflect our Gospel values.

Through quality education, innovative and faith-filled learning experiences, and strong community partnerships, we nurture a culture where all students feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
