About First Class
Welcome to First Class at St Joseph’s N.S!
First Class is an exciting milestone in your child’s educational journey, where they begin to explore more structured learning while still enjoying plenty of fun and creativity. In First Class, children expand their literacy and numeracy skills, develop problem-solving strategies, and grow their understanding of the world around them. Through a balance of interactive lessons, group activities, and hands-on learning, we encourage each child to become more independent, confident, and curious. First Class is all about fostering a love for learning and preparing children for the exciting challenges ahead.
