About St Joseph’s Catholic School (Dargaville)
Welcome to St Joseph’s Catholic School, nestled in the heart of Dargaville on Charlotte Street within Northland—a region known for its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. As a co-educational full primary school with an approximate roll size of 98 students, we pride ourselves on fostering inclusivity among our diverse student community that represents the vibrant tapestry of New Zealand's European/Pākehā (31%) and Māori cultures.
Under the guidance of Principal Marty Lucich, St Joseph’s Catholic School offers a nurturing environment where children can learn in harmony with their local community. Our school is an integral part of Dargaville's fabric; we believe that education should not only prepare our students for academic success but also equip them to become active and engaged citizens within the Northland region.
The enrolment process at St Joseph’s Catholic School emphasizes respect, care, and consideration. As a state-integrated school, we welcome children from all walks of life into our family—ensuring that every child feels valued and supported as they navigate their educational journey with us.
