St Joseph's School Cairns

St Joseph’s School is the school of choice for families across the Cairns region. Our school community is centred on our values of Learning, Love, Community and Respect, as Jesus showed. We strive to live the St Joseph’s Way each day which builds on the family values established in the homes of our families.
Our families tell us that they choose St Joseph’s for the following reasons:
we are considerate of the lives of busy parents as shown through streamlined communication and the provision of all learning resources including digital resources for each child
we are ideally located in the heart of Cairns, close to where many families work and easily accessible for school events and meetings
we have a strong and intentional focus on teaching children how to be good at learning which improves well-being and academic achievement
we are the ideal size school of 390 students where children are known by name
we provide before and after school care and a vacation care program for working families
we have state of the art facilities with beautifully appointed learning spaces and much shade for learning and play
we are very affordable with fee concessions when needed
we target our high levels of resources for our students with teams of teachers and learning assistants who wrap much support around all cohorts and enable learning targeted at the needs of each child
a Kitchen Garden program aimed to develop learners who value and care for nature
Our school has undergone major redevelopment and provides a world-class, state of the art learning facility for our community. With large, comfortable, cool and attractive spaces to learn, our ‘learning habitats’ provide agency and agility for all learning situations.
