Welcome to St Joseph’s Catholic Primary

Welcome to St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Kempsey. Located in the beautiful Macleay Valley, on the Mid North Coast of NSW.

Our focus is to ensure that all students learn in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment, where their academic success, spirituality and social & emotional wellbeing is always the focus.

St Joseph’s plays a vital role in laying the foundation for your child’s lifelong learning, ensuring that each student develops into a happy, resilient and successful person, with realistic and achievable goals, and strong morals and values.

Through our close relationship with St Paul’s Catholic Secondary College we have a strong commitment to providing our students with an exceptional Kindergarten to Year 12 experience of Catholic Education in the Macleay Valley.

Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge that our school resides on the Lands of the Dunghutti Nation.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians who have walked and cared for this land for thousands of years and their descendants who maintain these spiritual connections and traditions.

We pay our respect to Elders past, present and future leaders.

We reflect on the millions of footprints that travelled the Dreaming pathways and continue to walk this land today. The Land we are on now, the land we live, work, breathe, eat and sleep: always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.

We walk alongside the custodians of this beautiful country, Australia, as we seek Voice, Treaty and Truth.
