In Our Lady and St. Joseph’s we have an ethos of mutual respect and hard work.
Children know that the key principal underpinning the life and work of the school is that of respect; respect for ourselves, for each other and for the property of others.
We are a community school and place special emphasis on partnership between school, home, church and the community. We actively encourage co-operation and dialogue. We welcome comments and suggestions.
