School History

St. Joseph’s School in Chelsea began 75 years ago, with the motto “Always Faithful.” It began as a “Church School” staffed by lay teachers, one of whom later became a Bidgidine Sister and was appointed the first principal of St. Joseph’s School. The School was administered by the Sisters of St. Joseph until 1986 when the school became totally lay staffed.

School Context

St Joseph’s Primary School, Chelsea, is a coeducational Catholic Primary School in the bayside suburb of Chelsea about one hour south of Melbourne. The school was established in 1924. In 1935 Sister’s of St Joseph took over the running of the school travelling by train each day from the Frankston Parish. The Josephite order left the school in 1986.

St Joseph’s Chelsea is on a very small but well presented site. The school comprises four main buildings. These are Administration block, Junior Classrooms, Senior Classrooms and a Hall. Within the buildings, there are two toilet blocks, a computer laboratory, a Library and various small office/withdrawal areas. Outside there are well placed pockets of play equipment and a large area of asphalt. Across the road from the school a grassed play area has recently been established.
