**About our school**:
**Founded by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan in 1925, St Joseph’s Primary stands strong in its traditions and history within the parish of Nambour. The school has a proud reputation for its inclusive approach to education, embracing and catering for the needs of our diverse learners. Making learning visible is key in the school's pedagogical approach with a special focus on the social-emotional wellbeing of all its students. This approach works to develop in children an ability to clearly articulate what that they are learning, how they are progressing with that learning and to identify the next steps that will move their learning forward. Such an approach ensures that all students are given every opportunity to embrace their faith, be inspired to succeed and to nurture relationships (Vision Statement extract) as we seek to Teach, Challenge and Transform (Mission) in readiness for life within and beyond school. **Explore **our school website** to learn more about us.**
