Our Vision
St Joseph’s Aberdeen is a Catholic co-educational school aiming to meet the educational needs of the children of the parishes of Denman, Merriwa, Murrurundi, Muswellbrook, Aberdeen, and Scone as part of the Catholic education system of the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle.
As a Catholic school, we seek our values and inspiration in the words of the Gospel and the life of Jesus Christ. We seek to express those values through prayer, liturgy, and our daily lives, both as individuals and as members of a wider community.
We at St Joseph’s are committed, in partnership with families and parishes, to meeting the academic, social, physical, and spiritual needs of the students in our care.
Our Vision Statement:
St Joseph’s Catholic College, Aberdeen is a Christ-centred inclusive community, grounded in service and integrity, nurturing the potential in all.
Our Mission
Inspired by the spirituality of St Mary MacKillop, Father Julian Tenison Woods, and the Sisters of St Joseph who founded the school in 1896, the school gives a high priority to addressing the needs of the disadvantaged in the community, frequently reminding students of Mary MacKillop’s words, ‘never see a need without trying to do something about it.’
The concern for the less privileged in society is not only reflected in the school’s enrolment and pastoral care practices but is evident in the frequent community days and special appeals to support charitable and social justice groups and community organisations.
We at St Joseph’s are committed, in partnership with families and parishes, to meeting the academic, social, physical, and spiritual needs of the students in our care.
