We believe teachers are the most important feature of a successful education system.

At St Joseph's School teachers will:

• Believe that every student can improve.

• Inquire into the impact of their teaching on their students.

• Set high expectations for students to raise standards.

• Improve access for students to support and external expertise as required.

• Provide safe learning environments for risk taking and focused goal setting.

• Be supported by ongoing targeted professional development.

• Support, uphold and be actively involved in the total life of the school and its special character irrespective of their personal beliefs.
