St. Joseph’s Primary School is part of St Patrick’s Parish Tamworth, the Catholic Diocese of Armidale and the world wide Catholic Church.

• Religious Education should be based on the life of Jesus and witness to gospel values in both our teaching and everyday life.
• Teaching and interaction with children should promote Christ-like behaviour and bear witness to inclusiveness, forgiveness and love.
• Religious Education encompasses all aspects of the child’s development with a scripture and knowledge-base program and Catholic values integrated across all Key Learning Areas.
• The whole school community is provided with opportunities for spirituality and self-expression through liturgy, celebrations, sacraments, prayers and Masses building a strong link between the school, parish and wider community.
