The school is located in the city of Bunbury, approximately 180 km south of Perth in the beautiful rural area of the state’s south-west region.
Vision StatementSt. Joseph's Catholic Primary School is a Christ-centred community, within the Bunbury Parish, which aspires to educate and develop the whole child in a caring, Catholic environment, recognising and respecting the uniqueness, dignity and rights of others.
School ProfileCatholic Education was first established in Bunbury by the Sisters of Mercy in 1898. Their tradition of faith and service was continued when St Mary's opened in South Bunbury in 1904, and again when the Marist Brothers opened a college for boys in 1954.
