St Joseph’s Parish School, catering for boys and girls from Prep to Year 7, is an integral part of the Cairns Diocese and the Atherton Catholic Parish. Located approximately one hour’s drive from Cairns, Atherton sits within the heart of the naturally beautiful and agriculturally rich Atherton Tablelands. Despite its many changes over the years, St Joseph’s Parish School has remained committed to providing its students with a well-balanced and relevant education and curriculum.
St Joseph's is a school where parents are valued as the first educators of their children. We strive to work together to support the students at school so they can develop their full potential. We do this by working in partnership with the parent body and wider community.
As a Catholic school, we strive to develop the many aspects of the students within our care. Not only do we provide quality teaching and learning, but we also strive to develop the social, emotional and spiritual dimensions of our students. This is why the words, ‘love, faith, knowledge’ form our school motto. We strive, each day to model Jesus to others through our actions
