About Us:
The Philosophy of St Joseph’s Outside School Hours Care is upon the St Joseph’s School Mission Statement: “Our mission is to develop a community of faith, based on belief in God and a Christian way of life, where Gospel values will permeate all areas of learning and school life, determining the whole atmosphere of the school.”
St. Joseph’s School, Cairns, is an inner city school with approximately 390 students. St Joseph’s Outside School Hours Care provides a nurturing, creative, safe and caring environment for a total of 60 students. We embrace cultural diversity, have strong community involvement and a “let’s get healthy and active” attitude. We provide safe, enriching and engaging experiences for the children in our care, to encourage their continued growth and development.
Our complete Philosophy and Goals can be found in both the St Joseph’s OSHC Policy and Procedure Manual and Family Handbook.
