St John Bosco School, situated in Collinsville in the central-eastern part of Queensland, was established in 1936 by the Sisters of Mercy. The mission, then and today, was to be a faith presence in an educational facility for the people of Collinsville, Scottville and surrounding district. The school achieves its mission by providing for every student an education that allows them to face today's and tomorrow's challenges with hope and confidence. The core values of the school are the respect for the uniqueness and talents of each student; the respect for the right of students to learn; and the respect for the common good of the school community. We believe that learning for the challenge and joy of knowing, achieving and creating allows the flexibility for students to be lifelong learners. We provide a secure and safe environment and well-resourced classrooms, particularly in the Information Communication Technology field. A unique feature of this school is the importance placed on the provision of quality education for the whole person and the vital importance of a student's social and emotional learning towards maximum achievement levels being attained.
