Our Mission

“moto In Hoc Signo Vinci” – It is a motto meaning “In this sign you will conquer.”

Education in the Catholic tradition is a lifelong process of seeking and coming to know God in the fullness of creation. The purpose of St. Joseph’s School, West Tamworth is to assist parents and the local church community of St. Patrick’s Parish in the formation of students in heart, mind, body and spirit. ‘We must teach more by example than by word.” Blessed Mary MacKillop. 1867 Aged 25.
