Welcome to St James Primary School

We celebrate more than a century of providing high quality inclusive Catholic education. St James, Coorparoo was established by the Good Samaritan Sisters in 1916. The 'Good Sam's’ proudly nurtured a school characterised by welcoming the stranger, especially those in need and from other faiths and cultures.

We can confidently state that the same level of Christian hospitality and inclusivity exists in our community today. At St James, we value strong relationships with our God and one another, acceptance of individual differences, holistic education, collaborative partnerships and the on-going pursuit of excellence.
