St Joseph's Primary School Numurkah

Melbourne School introduces St Joseph's Primary School Numurkah in Numurkah, for all your education and learning needs.

Our school was founded by Saint Mary MacKillop. Incredibly, she became Australia’s first Saint in October 2010 which makes it even more special as we work to continue the tradition that is her legacy; a school that is a place where God is named and recognised and where Christian Values are lived out.

“We are Open to All Who Seek Our Values”

As a school, we strive to provide an atmosphere in which each child's talents and skills can be recognised and developed to their fullest potential. We work to instil a sense of self-discipline in our children where they respect each others’ differences and encourage each other to strive to be their best. We stress that their decisions and actions affect those around them. Our Social Skills are based on our TRIPLE A. Saint Mary MacKillop said, “Never see a need without doing something about it!” At St Joseph’s we : need to have a positive Attitude, need to be Aware and need to take Action.

The school is proud of having the most modern facilities available. Our recent additions and refurbishments have continued to set the benchmark in terms of provision of a modern, safe and stimulating environment that reflects teaching and learning in the 21st Century. Many parents and visitors comment on how things have changed since they went to school. I say thank goodness. Our modern day school must be ready to meet the needs of children brought up in a technological, open and questioning world. Our social groupings and resources must reflect our modern world and I am proud to say we strive to do this. We keep the best of the old but are not afraid to be innovative and creative in doing what’s best for our children.
