Getting Started

When children first enrol with St Joseph’s Hectorville, we connect with their whole family. We want to understand each students’ background, personality, challenges and passions, to ensure we can create a learning pathway that suits the individual.

School tours are a great way to start this conversation with our staff.

School tours

An opportunity for families to get a feel for what a typical day is like in the life of a St Joseph’s Hectorville student.

Alongside some of our older students, our Deputy Principal Keiran Taylor will guide you through the school’s facilities and give you an insight into some of our vibrant classrooms. This is also a chance to ask questions face-to-face with our leadership team and discuss your expectations or child’s needs, while also observing our students in their element.

We understand that for some people, it might take time to come to a decision on what school to send their children to, so our tours provide a ‘no obligation’ opportunity to see what your child’s experience would look like if you enrol them with St Joseph’s.

You can also spend more time with our team and understanding how the schools works through enrolling in any of our early learning programs if you wish.

School tours are at 9:30am every Tuesday and fortnightly on Thursdays during the school term. Bookings are essential.
