St Therese's Primary School is a Catholicprimary school in Bentley Park, Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

History

The first Catholic School in Edmonton, Edmonton Convent School – was established on 29 April 1929, with an enrolment of 30 students. In 1965, Edmonton was established as a separate Parish – St Therese's Parish, and the school was renamed St Therese's School, Edmonton. The community initially received the services of priests from St Monica's Cathedral Parish, then from St Joseph's Parish, Cairns.^[1]

The new school was opened by Bishop Torpie in July 1969. In 1976, the Sisters of Mercy, who had staffed the school throughout its history, withdrew from the Parish. In 1995 the school was moved to a new site at Centenary Park, which was renamed Bentley Park. Parish Priest, John McGrath, takes a keen interest in all matters pertaining to the religious and pastoral life of the school and regularly conducts school and class masses.
