Mount St Joseph's

Mission Statement

Mount St Joseph Milperra embraces the mission of Jesus in the context of Catholic Education and in the spirit of Mary MacKillop, founder of the Sisters of St Joseph.

Built on the values of justice, compassion and a love of learning this school community nurtures the growth of young women from all backgrounds, challenging them to be self-reliant and to exercise an active role in Church and society.

This school community values the dignity of each person and thus promotes respect for self, others, earth and God.

Vision Statement

Our school, Mount St Joseph Milperra, is part of the mission of the Catholic Church, and more specifically of the Sisters of St Joseph, whose spirit is that of Mary MacKillop.

This spirit finds expression in a school community where students from all backgrounds experience being sent as Jesus was.   This calls them:

to develop personal and communal relationships with God;
to recognise their gifts, abilities and dignity as young women;
to utilise the opportunities offered, to experience learning across a wide-ranging curriculum;
to think critically, and to act with self-reliance and responsibility in their relationships with others;
to live their lives in accordance with the Gospel values of justice, compassion, hospitality, forgiveness and a respect for the dignity of all people;
to believe in the value and importance of education as a means of effecting real change in the world;
to grow as women of wisdom, trust and integrity and thus to “put on the armour of light”.
