History

Mary MacKillop is the patron for this school. MacKillop was a Catholic missionary of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart who established schools for the poor and under-educated people in Australia. Members of the Order still establish schools in MacKillop's name.

Originally, the school was located in a residential area. Since then the school has grown to provide Catholic education to a broad area of North Queensland. It is currently been moved to a new area in Mundingburra and is now a school with over 450 students.
