Our story
St Joseph's Ottoway began in 1954, when two Sisters of St Joseph started classes in a small prefabricated church. The school has offered preschool since 1974 and has been led by a lay principal since 1997.
It remains a small Reception to Year 6 school. A nature play space, sustainability garden and two new hard-court areas were added in 2021, along with an outdoor prayer space.
