St Joseph's School (Hastings)

MEET THE PRINCIPAL

Nau mai haere mai ki te Kura o St Joseph’s.

Welcome to St Joseph’s School.

St Joseph’s is deeply rooted in the Catholic faith, fostering a strong sense of community, belonging, and excellence in learning. Our school is more than just a place of education—it is a whānau where children are nurtured to grow spiritually, academically, and socially in the light of Christ.

Our dedicated teachers provide a learning environment where students are encouraged to explore their faith, develop a love for learning, and embrace the Gospel values. We strive to instill in our students the confidence to lead with integrity and contribute positively to the world around them.

We are blessed with a supportive parish, engaged families, and a vibrant student body that reflects the richness of our Catholic identity. Together, we work in partnership to create a school community where each child is known, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential.

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about the special character of St Joseph’s. Whether you are a current family, or a prospective whānau, we welcome you with open arms and look forward to journeying in faith and learning together.
