The significance of parents being involved in student learning is acknowledged and encouraged with parents welcomed into the school and classrooms to assist and support in a variety of activities. Two official parent bodies exist within the organisational framework of the school. The St Joseph’s Wandal School Board is a pastoral board functioning under a Shared Wisdom Model whilst the Parents and Friends Association provides the organisational structure to assist with the necessary participation of parents in the life of the school.

The St Joseph’s Wandal staff is very committed to providing the best possible learning environment for the students. To provide a positive learning environment all staff members generously share their gifts with the community. A range of academic, cultural and sporting skills are readily shared. Each student and their family bring with them a deep knowledge and rich culture to the learning environment that is St Joseph's Wandal. Opportunities are provided for the sharing and incorporation of this lived experience to inform
and enrich our learning environment.
