Located just 10 minutes from the heart of Cairns, Our Lady Help of Christians School, nestled at the foothills of Earlville, is a welcoming Catholic primary school offering a world-class education. Our school provides a safe and inclusive environment where children and families feel truly at home.

We are proud of our strong and vibrant community, with our parent body playing a key role in driving engagement. Our Parents and Friends (P&F) group is thriving, consistently achieving record attendance at meetings. Their dedication enriches our school life through various special events that bring everyone together throughout the year.

At Our Lady Help of Christians, we prioritise student wellbeing as a cornerstone of our approach to education. A key part of this focus is Lucy, our permanent school therapy dog. Lucy plays a vital role in helping students regulate their emotions, providing comfort and support when needed. She also assists with student learning, particularly with reading, where her calming presence helps students develop confidence and enjoyment in their literacy skills.

We are also fortunate to have an incredible team of staff committed to the success and wellbeing of our students. With access to excellent resources, our students have the best opportunities to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our school life is centered around four key values: Respect, Mercy, Love, and Community. These values shape our daily interactions and are embedded in all that we do, helping guide and nurture our students as they grow. Our emphasis on inclusion and diversity further ensures that every child feels valued and supported within our community. We are proud of the supportive, inclusive atmosphere we have cultivated, and we remain committed to providing an environment where every child can learn and grow in faith, knowledge, and friendship.  As the school Principal, I feel privileged to be a part of such a great community; I love my gate duties in the mornings, greeting our students and families.  If you are interested in a school tour, please book via the Trybooking link – https://www.trybooking.com/CPAWF or contact reception and request a tour with me, Brendon Napier.
