St Therese's School

St Therese’s School is an integral part of the Cairns Diocese and the Edmonton Parish. Located just 20 minutes south of Cairns City, St Therese’s provides a Catholic primary education to an area that is currently referred to as the ‘growth corridor’ of Cairns. It is currently four streams and will reach full capacity in the coming few years. The first Catholic school in Edmonton, Edmonton Convent School, was established by the Sisters of Mercy on 29 April 1929, with an enrolment of 30 students. Since those early days, the school has undergone many changes in its history and was renamed in 1965 to St Therese’s School.
