History

St Joseph’s School in Chelsea began 98 years ago, with the motto ‘Always Faithful’. It began as a ‘Church School’ staffed by lay teachers, one of whom later became a Brigidine Sister and was appointed the first principal of St Joseph’s School. The school was administered by the Brigidine Sisters until 1935 and then by the Sisters of St Joseph until 1986 when the school became totally lay staffed.
