Before & After School Care
Camp Australia – Guiding Children’s Growth
​
We are proud to partner with Camp Australia to provide our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program.
Camp Australia programs are centred on child enrichment, while ensuring a reliable, engaging and hassle-free OSHC service at our school. Their engaged educators foster a safe, inclusive environment where children can relax, have fun and grow
At Your OSHC by Camp Australia, every before school, after school and pupil free day program is tailored to the likes and interests of each child in service. Camp Australia’s educators design enriching experiences to inspire your children’s confidence, independence and imagination. In any one week, they could be participating in science experiments, active play, creative expression and more – they believe in learning through experience so that each child can grow.
Rocketeers – Extraordinary Holiday Adventures
Rocketeers by Camp Australia is a space for children to escape the ordinary and experience the extraordinary during their school holidays. Every school holiday break is a new mission for children to embark upon. With carefully designed programs, directed by the children and informed by family feedback, no two days are the same with Rocketeers. Experiences planned could include games, arts & crafts, sport, excursions, cooking, coding and more.

Uniform
At St Joseph’s, our school uniform reflects a strong sense of belonging, pride, and community. Wearing the St Joseph’s uniform helps students feel connected to one another and fosters an inclusive environment where everyone is valued equally. Our uniform has been designed to be practical, comfortable, and suitable for active learning and play, supporting students to move confidently throughout their day.
​
We offer a range of uniform options to suit different seasons and activities, including dedicated Physical Education attire to encourage participation in sport and movement. In line with our SunSmart policy, a school hat is an essential part of the uniform and must be worn from January to May and September to December whenever students are outdoors. This supports student wellbeing and encourages safe sun protection habits from an early age.
​
We believe that a consistent school uniform helps create a positive learning culture by reducing distractions, promoting equality, and encouraging students to take pride in themselves and their school. Families are supported with clear guidelines, and we appreciate the partnership we share in ensuring students wear their uniform correctly and proudly as ambassadors of the St Joseph’s community.
Uniforms can be bought from our on-site uniform shop on Tuesdays or at an arranged time with the office staff. Uniform order forms are also available from the office or attached to the weekly newsletter.
