We value positive relationships with parents and carers to help develop better social and emotional skills in children. We know that when children are engaged with their learning, they attend school more regularly, leading to better long term outcomes.

For parenting and counselling services, visit the Family Support page, and for direction and clarity on regulations, processes and procedures at our school, read the Sydney Catholic School policies.

 

BYOD

eLearning is a key component in all Mount St Joseph Catholic College classrooms and our vision is that technologies are integrated appropriately to support authentic, higher order and collaborative learning.

Every girl at MSJ has their own personal learning device so that their learning can be blended between physical and digital spaces. We are a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) learning environment, which means that all girls choose and take responsibility for their own device. Families are advised to consult the MSJ device requirements prior to purchasing a device for use at school.

Transport for NSW

The School Opal card gives eligible school students free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school on trains, buses, ferries and light rail in the Opal network.
