St Gerard Majella Primary School

Education NSW introduces St Gerard Majella Primary School in Woree, for all your education and learning needs.

St Gerard Majella Primary School is a co-educational Catholic Primary School catering for approximately 450 students from Prep to Year Seven.


Located in the rapidly developing southern suburbs of Cairns, St Gerard Majella, is situated in a beautiful setting at the base of Red Hill. We share well-kept grounds with the adjacent secondary school, St Mary’s Catholic College.


An integral part of Our Lady Help of Christians Parish, St Gerard Majella is a school focused on people – children, parents and teachers working together to build a Christian community. This is a community inspired by love, a concern for one another and a relationship with God.


The staff at St Gerard Majella fully recognises the role of parents in the educative process of the child. Co-operation and consultation with parents and caregivers is valued and encouraged. Our goal is working with parents to develop our children spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, physically and culturally.


The school’s motto is “The Lord is my Light” and this indicates that our guiding force in all we do is the Lord who lights our way through life
