At St Joseph’s School Nelson, we believe that in order to develop fully in society, each of us needs to have a genuine belief in his/her own self worth, based on our faith in God’s love for each of us.  We need to be thinking, caring members of our family, our school and the wider community, knowing that we can make a difference.

We endeavour to provide at St Joseph’s, a secure, happy Christian learning environment where each person is challenged to develop wholeness, where love of God, love of neighbour and love of self are motivating forces.  We need to work together as a community, supporting one another, if we are to achieve the best for our children and develop “wellness” in ourselves, our students, our school, our Parish and the wider community.  May God bless our endeavours so that our vision “that we may have life and have it to the full” (based on John 10:10) may come to fruition.
