As a smaller community we strive to know each family and together work to support the learning and wellbeing of all the children in our care
St Joseph’s Tranmere is an Reception to Year 6 co-educational Catholic school offering a caring, values based education in the Josephite tradition. Located in the heart of the eastern suburbs, less than 8kms from the CBD, our school has green gardens, leafy trees, age appropriate play areas and undercover learning spaces.
We offer a diverse range of extra-curricular learning and specialist programs including Italian, Visual and Media Arts and Music.
Our modern facilities include fully air-conditioned class rooms, a multi-purpose hall, full sized basketball/netball/play courts, oval, art room and multi-functional resource centre. For added convenience there is a healthy option lunch service, OSHC for care both before and after school, Family Playgroup and a long transition to school program Little STaRS.
Your child will join the St Joseph’s family – an intimate, connected community where every child is known and nurtured to become the best person they can be. An experienced teaching staff delivers a learning experience that is personal and tailored to your child.
We recently purchased the adjoining property next to our oval on Birkinshaw Avenue and have used this space to extend our grassed area and install a Multisports Court.
Alyce - Reception parent
My daughter's transition to St Joseph's Tranmere has been more positive than I could have imagined. In the lead up to starting Reception, children attend every Friday for two terms and are integrated into school life from the get go. My daughter confidently walked through the school gates on her first day of school and I too felt confident knowing that she was going to be learning in a loving, nurturing environment.
The school community is beautiful. Small enough that everyone can be involved and get to know each other and big enough to mean that every opportunity is catered for. The almost 100% attendance at school events shows, not only the schools commitment to families, but also the depth of the community that has developed there.
The Principal, Adrian, knows every child by name. It is clear that he genuinely loves his job and he can be found greeting children in the morning as they arrive and farewelling them at pickup time.
Communication with all staff and teachers has so far been exceptional. We have always felt aware of what was going on and there are ample opportunities to communicate and resolve issues before they arise. It is clear that the staff well and truly uphold the values of the school and see the importance in working collaboratively with families and the whole school community.
We could not have asked for a better start to our daughter's school journey.
