​​​​​​​Welcome to

ST JOSEPH'S SCHOOL HASTINGS

A full Catholic Primary School from New Entrants to Year 8, in the Heart of Hastings​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

MEET THE PRINCIPAL


Kia ora, and a warm welcome to St Joseph's School.

Our Catholic school provides a unique opportunity to blend learning with living.  Our ‘soul’ (sole) aim is to provide opportunity for your child to be the best person they can be.  This will be done in partnership with the home and wider community.

Our learning programmes offer students continuity and progression. We get to know them from 5 to 13 years olds (New Entrants to Year 8) and actively foster fellowship - mates for life!

​​​​​​​The school has great heart and is seriously committed to providing a quality education for the many young people placed in our trust.

Please arrange an appointment if you would like a look around, because every day is open day at St Joseph’s School.
