Principal’s Welcome
As the Principal of St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, my vision is to build a community that not only serves the academic needs of our students but also actively contributes to the well-being of the wider community. Our students are not just learners; they are future leaders and contributors to society. By instilling in them the values of courage, kindness, respect, and responsibility, we aim to prepare them for a life of purpose and service.
I am dedicated to assembling a team of educators who share this vision wholeheartedly. St Joseph’s seeks courageous and innovative educators who see beyond the curriculum, recognizing and celebrating the unique strengths each child brings.
Our teachers and support staff are not just instructors; they are mentors, guides and partners in the journey of enabling each child to reach their fullest potential, without any limitations.
I invite you to join us on this exciting journey of learning, growth and community service.
Together, let us create an environment where every child feels seen, valued and empowered to become the best version of themselves.
We thank you for entrusting us with the education and development of your children. I look forward to a fruitful and enriching partnership.
Regards,
Troy Rickard – Principal, St Joseph’s Werribee
