St John Vianney Primary is an independent, co-educational Catholic school in Morisset, New South Wales. Situated in the Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle. In 2012, Saint John Vianney celebrated 50 years as a Catholic Community.
In 1948 Morisset became a parish with Father Dominic O’Gorman who saw a need for Catholic Education in the district and a program was designed to build a new School and Convent. The Sisters of St Joseph from Lochinvar were brought in to live and work in the Parish.
