Principal’s Welcome
At St Joseph’s Culcairn we acknowledge the Wiradjuri people as the traditional custodians of the country on which our school stands.
A warm welcome to St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. Founded by the Josephite Sisters we follow in the pioneering footsteps of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop as we strive to develop the whole child within a Christian context.
As educators, we are here to support parents and caregivers in progressing the learning journey already begun in the home. Therefore, our staff are dedicated to delivering a high quality and evidenced based T eaching and Learning environment where each child has the opportunity to grow spiritually, academically, socially and emotionally. Being part of a rural community our school is committed to building and maintaining local partnerships in order to cultivate a wider sense of belonging.
Kind Regards,
Josh Gaynor

Our History
As a community of learners, St Joseph’s Primary School acknowledges that 'Christ is the foundation of the whole educational enterprise in a Catholic School'
The school is located in rural NSW and is 55 km north of Albury. Many of the school families are generational farmers of crops, cattle and sheep.
St Joseph’s Primary School wasfirst opened in 1926 by the sisters of St Joseph. The first sisters: Austine Doyle, Evangelist Duggan, Gonzaga Cuffe, Gertrude Lennon and Concerpta Gallagher arrived to open the school for 60 pupils. Strenuous efforts were made, mostly to raise money to build a convent and ultimately a school building. The school continues to strive for excellence in all areas, all while fostering the strong beliefs and values of the sisters of St Joseph.
