About

St Joseph's Catholic School Cloncurry operates as a trust under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Townsville, providing Catholic education from Prep to Year 9 in the remote Queensland town of Cloncurry. Founded in 1909 by the Sisters of St Joseph following Mother Mary MacKillop's direction, the school serves a rural community with significant Indigenous student population and maintains a strong Josephite charism focused on serving those in need.

Tips for Applicants

This is not a grantmaking foundation but a school operational trust. It does not accept grant applications or provide philanthropic funding to external organizations. The trust exists solely to support St Joseph's Catholic School Cloncurry. Those seeking educational support should contact the school directly regarding enrolment or the Diocese of Townsville Catholic Education Office for broader educational funding inquiries.

Giving Philosophy

This entity operates as a school trust rather than a grantmaking foundation. It embodies the Josephite charism of 'Never see a need without doing something about it,' focusing on providing Catholic education to rural and Indigenous students in remote Queensland. The trust exists to support the operational needs of St Joseph's Catholic School and promote educational access in an underserved regional community.
