Prayer is an important part of our regular school life at
St Joseph's
At St Joseph’s School our Catholic heritage in the Mercy tradition is shown in our personal interactions with others. Aligning with our school motto “With Christ We Grow”, we provide a multitude of opportunities for our community to celebrate our faith. Children are exposed to and have the opportunity to participate in a variety of prayer forms, both within the classroom and as a school community, including attendance at Mass, special all-school liturgies, seasonal devotions, and daily community prayer.
Prayer is an important part of our regular school life at St Joseph’s. We prioritise opportunities to gather together each day to connect as a community, with prayer a central element to these gatherings. All members of our school community are welcome to join us for these celebrations.

School Prayer
Loving God,
You bless us with the example of St Joseph, who cared with courage and faith,
and with the vision of Catherine McAuley, who opened her heart in mercy and love.
Guide us to live our school values:
to show courage when challenges come,
to offer hospitality with open hearts,
to serve others with joy,
and to be good stewards of all creation.
May we learn, grow, and walk together with Christ at the centre of all we do.
We ask this through Jesus, your Son.
Amen.
