      General Info

      We welcome children and families of all faiths and backgrounds.

      In 2003 the Catholic Diocese of Townsville began discussing ways to support not just our own Catholic families, but family life in general. The Diocese felt it must respond to the changing needs of people in contemporary society in new ways, but always with the conviction that family life has a central place in the Church and in society.

      Our philosophy is to provide a welcoming environment where parents and children feel comfortable and content. Staff-parent communication is a very important aspect of this. We acknowledge and respect children as unique individuals and are mindful of their dignity. With this is mind, we will offer care and support for children with additional needs.

      We provide a safe, positive & nurturing environment understanding that children need this security for their growth & development. Independence, problem solving, grace & courtesy are fostered in such an environment. Kindergarten We are proud to offer a learning environment that aims to specifically enrich children’s learning in the Kindergarten year. The Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG) supports Teachers and Early Educators to implement professional practice in a range of contexts.
