Welcome to website of Our Lady & St. Joseph’s Primary School & Nursery Class!
Our Motto: A caring, sharing school.
Welcome to Our Lady & St. Joseph’s Primary School and Nursery. This website will help you understand more about our school and provides essential information which I hope you will find interesting and helpful.
Throughout the school year various activities, events and meetings will be arranged in order to involve parents and the community in the life and work of the school. We contact parents through Sway newsletters, phonecalls, videocalls and websites to share learning.
Education starts long before children come to school. It is continuous from home to nursery and primary school. Parental involvement is crucial to raising achievement. Should you wish to discuss your child’s progress or have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact school immediately.
We are a community school and place special emphasis on partnership between school, home, church and the community. We actively encourage co-operation and dialogue. We welcome comments and suggestions.
You are welcome to contact us to find out more about Our Lady & St. Joseph’s.
