At St Joey’s Mundingburra, each child is valued and knows he or she belongs. All children have a natural potential for learning which we build on using expert teaching techniques. We find our approach fosters both enjoyment and excellence in learning. St Joey’s is a close-knit community, with two classes in each year level from Prep to Year 6. Our Pastoral Care programs and smaller size give all students the opportunity to know each other better and to support and respect one another. We see education as a partnership between school, parents and students. Our students do best when we join together to create a strong support network.
