St Joseph's School community is in the Mary Help of Christians Parish. St Joseph's Catholic Primary School was founded in 1873 from humble beginnings and today is a modern educational institution providing schooling from Prep to Year 7. St Joseph's provides an environment based on Catholic tradition with a commitment to lifelong learning. We recognise each child as being unique and formed in the image of God. We are a school community which fosters a friendly, trusting collaboration between principal, teachers, parish priest and parents for the ongoing development of each child. St Joseph's is a Catholic school committed to an education that is centred on Christ and Christian values. Diverse curricular activities initiated by a caring and dedicated team of professionals, well-maintained grounds and facilities, and parent involvement combine to offer excellent learning opportunities. St Joseph's is situated on a site near the Townsville CBD. It services parents working and living in the city area plus North Ward and surrounding suburbs. St Joseph's is currently undertaking a multi-million dollar capital building project which will provide the oldest Catholic school in Townsville with facilities for 21st Century Learning.
