St Joseph’s Primary School was founded by the Sisters of St Joseph in 1927.
The school was initially located in Milson St, Charlestown, adjacent to the parish church and the Josephite convent; however, as the Charlestown area grew and developed it was necessary to relocate to accommodate growing enrolments.
In 1975, the new school situated in a natural bushland setting was officially opened. St Joseph’s is proud of its Josephite heritage and continues to espouse the charism of the Josephite order.
