St Joseph's Tobruk Memorial School is a co-educational, Catholic primary school (Prep-Year 6) with an enrolment of approximately 560 students. Our community celebrates seven core values based on the charisms of our co-founders, Mary MacKillop, St Joseph, and The Rats of Tobruk: dignity, compassion, courage & resilience, justice, camaraderie, reconciliation, and trust and faith in God. Integrating these themes and core values into every facet of school life is both a challenge and a privilege for every member of the St Joseph's community.
Our community is built on high expectations relationships with our families, students, and staff. A student code of conduct based on our Respect Rules (respect for self, others, environment, and learning) applies to all learners within the St Joseph's community. We have multi-tiered systems of support across our learning and wellbeing programs (e.g., student behaviour, safeguarding, and wellbeing) that help create a safe, friendly, and supportive school environment. We strive for excellence in an engaging curriculum, preparing children to become active participants and life-long learners in a rapidly changing world. Co-curricular activities such as camps for Year 5 and 6, student voice teams, various lunch clubs, and interschool sport provide opportunities for further quality educational outcomes.
At St Joseph's Tobruk Memorial School, we encourage families to continue to be actively involved in their children's education through purposeful partnerships with their children's teachers and the wider school community. We have an active parent engagement model (Joey’s Engagement Team – JET) and welcome the voice of parents to improve our learning, engagement, and well-being programs.
At St Joseph's Tobruk, we share the beliefs that together:
- We serve and lead a high-quality and inclusive learning community.
- We are stewards of creation, walking on Gugingin land, charged with the responsibility of caring for our earth and its diverse and abundant resources. We believe in actively contributing towards environmentally sustainable policies and practices, conserving this precious gift of creation for future generations.
- We work together cheerfully in a spirit of genuine co-operation, reconciliation, mutual respect, camaraderie, and care to create a safe and supportive school community.
- We strive for excellence in an engaging curriculum, preparing children to become active participants in a rapidly changing world.
- We acknowledge the intrinsic worth of every individual and celebrate the diversity in our community.
- We recognise and nurture the spirituality of each person centred on Jesus, enlivened by the charisms of our founding patrons, and integrated into purposeful, daily living.
