St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Blayney

Fantastic school, 21 years ago we were new to the area and looking for a school for our eldest child to attend. Best decision ever. The school is an extension of our family, with the friendly staff and parent body. I have experienced the school evolving and change with 'The times

Great staff and wonderful students. Exciting education for students all within a very caring Catholic environment.

To the acting principal:I stumbled onto your website over Christmas and as former pupil (Josephine Moylan)I was overwhelmed by the wonderful photos of happy children engaging in their education and of the hidden memories it brought back to me.I went to St Josephs over fifty years ago when my family immigrated from Ireland and many of my cherished memories are from going to school at St Joseph's and living in Blayney as a child.I still have photos of St Josephs sports day with my brothers and sisters and can remember vividly my walk to and from school each day waking up happy and coming home happy.We returned to Ireland in the 70's and I had a wonderful career in childcare eventually becoming and Inspector for Childcare Services in Ireland; I now Coordinate Childcare Programmes in a College of Further Education and I teach on these Programmes.Looking at contented children engaged in activities at your school you are giving them the best start they could ever have and hopefully they will write to you in fifty years to tell you what a fantastic job you are doing shaping the adults of the future.Thank you with all my heart for shaping my past and for now for giving me the chance to re-live some wonderful memories.Yours sincerelyJo Edgar

My children attend St Joseph’s & they love it. They are happy and have made great friends. I enjoy being part of the school community and helping out where ever I can.

students are absolutely horrible.

A school centered around community and family that offers small class sizes, state of the art technology, high educational standards and fresh ideas. Couple this with the nurturing environment, quality of staff leadership, and supportive peers and you have some content children who happily attend each day and are focused on becoming good stewards in the community. My children are being offered all the opportunities available in larger schools but in a smaller supportive environment. Book in for a tour to make up your own mind!

If you are looking for a school that caters for every child, this is the school for you. I love that as a parent i can walk in the front gate where the kids say hello and know exactly who i am. Its just a wonderful little community where no child is forgotten. My eldest is about to finish year 6 there this year and im so sad she has to leave. I attended this school back in 1989 to 1999 and absolutely loved it.

My kids love this school. With a new principal, great teachers and lots of exciting things happening there is a great atmosphere around the school. Plus as a smaller school the extra attention the kids receive is excellent.
