Increasing enrolments put pressure on the classroom space and in 1970 the school ceased to offer Year 4 (as that was available at St Joseph's Catholic Primary School at Parkside).

St Kieran's Catholic Primary School was then opened at a new site in Pioneer.

[10][11] In 2017, the school had an enrolment of 489 students with 42 teachers and 25 non-teaching staff (22 full-time equivalent).

The nearest government primary school is Mount Isa Central State School in neighbouring Mount Isa City (the central business district) to the south.

The nearest government secondary school is Spinifex State College which has its junior campus in Parkside to the south-west and its senior campus in neighbouring Pioneer to the east.
