Welcome to St Rita's School, South Johnstone

St Rita’s School South Johnstone – a co-educational primary school in the Innisfail region of the Diocese of Cairns. Here at St Rita’s, we are a faith community which recognises Christ and seeks to live and proclaim His Gospel values. These values, combined with a comprehensive scholastic curriculum, help each child develop individual abilities to become a totally integrated, self-disciplined student. We endeavour to provide a caring, secure, supportive environment which endows each child with a sense of belonging. St Rita’s isn’t simply a school; it is a strong community of families working together and sharing in the education of their children. If you’re considering a school in the Innisfail area, you can’t go past St Rita’s for a quality education. 

Principal's Welcome

I extend a warm welcome to you from the community of St Rita’s Catholic School, South Johnstone.  It is one of the most pleasurable responsibilities of my job to meet with parents and guardians and discuss with them the very important decisions concerning the educational life of students.

When you enrol your child at St Rita’s, your family joins a collaborative learning community which seeks to include every single person – students, parents, staff members and our parish priest in the important task of educating children – spiritually, academically, physically, culturally, socially and emotionally.

The school is privileged to be part of this educational partnership, founded upon mutual respect, trust and a strong sense of common purpose, which contributes to your child’s development.

I therefore invite you to become a part of our community taking what we have to offer and bringing to us what you have to offer; this exchange will strengthen our community and benefit not only your family, but all other school families.
