PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME

On behalf of the school community, I am delighted to welcome you to St Josephine Bakhita Catholic Primary School, a vibrant, safe, inclusive community of faith and learning.

At St Josephine Bakhita we are committed to providing a high-quality Catholic education that inspires students to be curious, creative, and critically thinking individuals who are equipped to make a positive impact in the world.

Our motto inspires us to live out the values of our Catholic faith in every aspect of school life. We strive to embody the qualities of:

  • Courage: to stand up for what is right, to take risks, and to persevere in the face of challenges
  • Humility: to recognise our gifts and talents as blessings from God, and to use them in service to others
  • Forgiveness: to let go of grudges, to show mercy, and to seek reconciliation

At St Josephine Bakhita, we acknowledge and respect the fact that parents are the first and most influential educators of their children. We recognise that the home is where the foundation of faith, values, and learning is laid, and we are committed to supporting and partnering with you in this essential role.

We are dedicated to working collaboratively with you to ensure that your child receives a well-rounded education that aligns with your values and aspirations. We will keep you informed, involved, and engaged in your child's learning journey, and we look forward to building a strong and supportive partnership with you.

At St Josephine Bakhita, we recognise that child safety is a collective responsibility that encompasses every individual in our community. We believe that student wellbeing is inextricably linked to a safe and nurturing environment, and we are committed to working in partnership with parents, students, and community members to:

  • Foster a culture of safety, respect, and trust
  • Identify and mitigate potential risks to student safety
  • Promote open communication and transparency
  • Support students in developing the skills and confidence to advocate for their own safety and wellbeing.

I encourage you to explore our website, follow us on social media, and attend school events to stay informed about the latest news, achievements, and happenings at the school.

If you have any questions about the enrolment process, please contact us via the website or phone the school on 5953 9100.

Thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of educating your child.
