Education in Faith

St Joseph’s school was founded to proclaim Jesus’ message of God’s love for all. Our Catholic faith calls us to embrace the contemporary world with a Catholic imagination, and a particular hope-filled view of the human person and all of creation. We invite students to make sense of their world and their lives within a faith community that is faithful to the mission of Jesus.

​

Horizons of Hope, the new education framework for the Archdiocese of Melbourne supports our school to engage in dialogue about the distinctive nature of learning and teaching, leading learning, and enhancing our Catholic identity in our school.

​

Religious Education at St Joseph’s is focussed on the key content areas: Church and Community; Scripture and Jesus; Prayer, Liturgy and Sacraments; God, Religion and Life and Morality and Justice.

​

Engaging in this learning students explain, interpret and reflect on the Catholic faith, traditions and teachings of the Church. They develop the ability to respond to these teachings in their lives and the world.
