St Joseph's Catholic Primary School,
Pinjarra, was established in 1930 by the Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The school opened on 28th April 1930 in the building now used as the Anglican Hall in Canon Avenue. The last  Josephite Sister to work in the school left in 1998.

THE CREST AND MOTTO
We use the symbolism of our crest and motto to remind us of the origins of our school and our relationship with the local community in which we live and work.

The cross represents the life of Jesus and the new life he shares with us today.
Jesus is the guiding light for the way we live.

The hills represent the Darling Ranges that surround the school. The brown is the bauxite areas that are mined and also as a symbol of the brown habit once worn by the Josephite Sisters who established the school in 1930.

The river represents the Murray River that is part of the area and an essential local waterway. In our Christian faith it is also a symbol of life with Jesus

The motto 'Faith and Trust' represents that together we are developing our faith and trust in God. We are learning to share this with one another.
