Specialist programs

St Joseph’s values growing students across all areas of the curriculum. Incorporated into the weekly timetable, every student participates in specialist lessons of Physical Education and Arts to ensure holistic growth and success. Our Arts program works on a term rotation focusing on Dance, Drama, Visual Arts and Music.

Instrumental Music

Currently St Joseph’s offers an instrumental music program for students in years 4-6 which is accessed through the Chinchilla State School.  Participants in the program are charged an extra fee through school fees for this specialist tuition.  Participants in the program are also given the opportunity to join the Chinchilla combined schools concert band, which performs at several events throughout the year.

School Camps

School camps are an important learning and socialising experience and are part of the school curriculum for students in Years 4-6. Camp is not meant to be a holiday but an extension of the classroom into different learning environments.  At St Joseph's the students in years 4 to 6 attend a camp once a year. The location of the camp varies each year.

Excursions

Excursions are organised from time to time by class teachers to supplement the curriculum being taught.
