Who We Are

Our Dispositions

Screen Shot 2022-04-16 at 7.54.57 pm.png

At St Joseph the Worker School we believe learners learn best when they can articulate, reflect on, and have a voice in their learning.

​

We want our learners to know how to take charge of their own learning and to ‘know what to do when they don’t know what to do’.

​

The school community worked together in 2021 to identify the “top 5” dispositions we believed were important for successful learning.  Students develop an understanding of these dispositions and are supported to use them.

​

St Joseph the Worker learners are curious, creative, collaborative, resilient, risk takers.

​

St Joseph the Worker Primary School is culturally inclusive of everyone in our community and promotes the safety and wellbeing of all children in our community.

​

St Joseph the Worker Primary School is a school which operates with the consent of the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne and is operated and governed by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS).

​

MACS governs and operates Catholic schools in the Archdiocese to continue the mission of Catholic education to proclaim the Good News and equip our young people with the knowledge, skills, and hope to live meaningful lives and enrich the world around them.

​

Because the good work of educating the young is a co-responsible task led by every member of the Catholic school community, School Advisory Councils have been established to provide a crucial point of connection between the wider school community and school leaders. This governance model was designed to ease the administrative burden on our schools and parishes, allow parish priests to focus on the mission of education in the parish, enable greater collaboration between schools and ensure greater consistency in school policies and procedures.

 

More information about MACS is available at www.macs.vic.edu.au

​

Democratic Principles

​

At St Joseph the Worker Primary School we recognise that the school plays a vital role in advancing democratic ideals and principles. For democracy to continue to thrive, children must be taught democratic ideals and principles and to value its way of life. St Joseph the Worker Primary School will explicitly and implicitly support and promote the principles of Australian democracy, including a commitment to:

·   elected government

·   the rule of law

·   equal rights for all before the law

·   freedom of religion

·   freedom of speech and association

·   the values of openness and tolerance.

 

Through our curricular and extracurricular programs,  St Joseph the Worker Primary School will prepare our children to become citizens who will preserve and shape democracy in the future. Democratic values will be taught explicitly in the curriculum and implicitly in the child’s experience of the school, from classroom practice, and from what is taught to how it is taught.
