St John's Catholic Primary School Walkerston

St John’s is located in Walkerston, 14 km inland from the large coastal city of Mackay. Residential development in Walkerston is expanding and demographic projections indicate that this trend will continue. St John’s presently caters for its students in a mix of one and two streams in year level structures, with a future projection of two classes of each grade.

Who we are, and what we value and believe as co-educators in a child’s life, is crucial to our success as a learning organisation. Through fostering children’s ability to become reflective and self-directed learners, our school aims to nurture effective communicators, capable producers, willing participators, eager investigators and creative problem solvers.

Recent major capital and technological upgrades have provided state of the art facilities and the school is well resourced to enable future-focused learning.

Our Learning Support specialist works closely with parents and teachers to ensure that the school caters for the wide range of student abilities through differentiated learning.
