Since our foundation in Lochinvar in 1883 Sisters taught in many schools in response to the needs of people in rural areas, mining towns and working class suburbs.

In all, fifty parish primary schools and ten secondary schools were entrusted to our Sisters in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle and beyond. These are listed below.

Music was always a prominent aspect of our Josephite education through classroom teaching, private tuition and the training of choirs and orchestras.

Today the Josephite spirit lives on in the schools through the work of dedicated lay principals and staff.

A history of schools, including those now closed, can be found in the publication, Snapshots in Time: 1822-2021 A Focus on schools in the Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle by Frances Dunn, Marie Hughes rsj and Elizabeth Latham
