Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Townsville’s newest Catholic primary school.  

At St Benedict’s Catholic School we are committed to providing an engaging and nurturing learning environment for all students. Our goal is to foster a love for learning and to equip our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve their full potential.  

We believe that every child is unique and has their own special talents and abilities. Our experienced and passionate teachers are committed to understanding and catering to the individual needs of our students, ensuring a well rounded education.

In addition to academic excellence, we also focus on nurturing moral values. Our school’s culture reflects the grace and spirit of our Patron Saint, St Benedict, known as a gentle, dignified, strong, peace-loving man, who lived a contemplative life and honoured our motto, ‘God in all of life’ . We promote values such as respect, responsibility, and kindness and we strive to instil these values in our students to help them become compassionate and contributing members of society. 

We also have a range of extracurricular activities to enrich your child’s learning and provide opportunities for them to explore their interests and develop new skills.

We look forward to fostering a strong partnership between home and school to ensure that together, your child receives the best education possible.
