Welcome to St Joseph’s Primary School

AT ST JOSEPH’S SCHOOL WE HAVE BEEN EDUCATING THE CHILDREN OF TENTERFIELD AND THE SURROUNDING DISTRICT FOR OVER 130 YEARS.

Established in 1880 by the Sisters of St Joseph, St Joseph’s School is a quality primary school with 127 students, located in Tenterfield in the New England Region of NSW. Our school has large spacious grounds, modern open plan classrooms and experienced, committed staff.

CHOOSING A SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS YOU WILL MAKE.

St Joseph’s prides itself on the high standard of education using Quality Teaching and Learning strategies, where every child is challenged and valued for their unique gifts.

Our school has embedded the ‘Living Well, Learning Well’ student support framework with the three pillars that all students know and understand:

  • I am Safe
  • I am Valued, Respected and Cared for
  • I am a Learner

One of the defining features of our school is the strong relationship between family, school, parish and the wider community.
