Nestled along the fringe of the Macalister Mountain Range, Holy Cross School is an integral part of the Northern Beaches Parish of Cairns. Our inaugural year was in 1987, on a site which was once a sugar cane farm. Holy Cross School originally came into being because of the desire of the people of the parish to provide an education that also nurtured the faith life of their children. As the most northerly located Catholic primary school in the city of Cairns, Holy Cross proudly serves the families of the Cairns Northern Beaches. Our educational program embraces gospel values whilst being both pastorally and academically attentive to the needs of our students, promoting a true sense of belonging within a Christian environment.

With a healthy enrolment of over 550 students from Prep to Year 6, Holy Cross School is a highly regarded Catholic primary school offering a commitment to supporting, encouraging and challenging individual development, with respect for the just and equitable rights of each person.
