St Vincent's Catholic Primary School is situated at Clear Island Waters on the Gold Coast, Queensland. It is one of Brisbane Catholic Education's community of schools and a part of the Surfers Paradise Catholic Parish. It is a co-educational primary school (Prep - Year 7) with a current enrolment of around 770 students. St Vincent's is undergoing a period of growth and the school is currently building additional facilities to cater for the demand. Our school grounds are extensive and include ovals and a large lake. The core values of the school (Mercy Values Program) are guided by the school covenant, together with the attributes of our religious patrons, St Vincent and Catherine McAuley. St Vincent's is an inclusive Catholic school that strives for excellence in all areas. Our school motto links our history to our future 'a place of shared stories and vibrant memories'. There are a number of co-curricular and extra-curricular offerings available to students and parents and the local community play an important part in the life of the school. The school's pastoral program is supported by the guidance counsellor and community care co-ordinator.
