Give your time and skills
Help at an event, support a school activity, volunteer for a trip, or share your professional experience. One hour or one useful introduction can make a real difference—there is no expectation of a long-term commitment.
St Joseph's School Association
What We Do
We care, we love, we support
St Joseph's School Association (SJSA) is the parent and carer community that stands behind every child at St Joseph's. Run by a small group of elected volunteer trustees—a Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary—the SJSA works hand in hand with the Saint John Southworth Foundation and school management to give every child the richest possible experience of school life.
We've inherited an outstanding school; let's work together to keep it that way. You can volunteer for a school trip—Forest School, the Floating Classroom, swimming lessons, or a visit to the zoo or a cultural landmark. Or you can pitch in at events for the children, from Science Week and World Book Day to our auction artwork preview, pre-loved uniform sales, and Christmas cards and gifts. Every contribution makes a difference. And our highlight events of the year—the Winter Gala and Auction, and the Summer Fair—do more than raise funds: they're where our whole community of families, friends, and alumni comes together.
None of this happens without you. Your donations to SJSA go to the things that make life inside the school truly special—and a regular monthly gift, big or small, gives us the steady footing to plan ahead rather than chase each event. It goes straight back into daily life at St Joseph's, for your child and every child in our care.
