St Kieran's Christian Brothers College opened on 25 January 1960 with an initial enrolment of 132 boys in Years 4 to 7 with Brother Tom Higgins as the first principal. By 1967 the school had an enrolment of over 300 boys in Years 4 to 10. 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). The school closed on 7 December 1984 as part of a rationalisation and amalgamation of the various Catholic schools in Mount Isa, resulting in Mount Isa Catholic High School (a merger of St Kieran's secondary school with the girls' secondary San Jose College) occupying the former St Kieran's site in Menzies. St Kieran's Catholic Primary School was then opened at a new site in Pioneer. On 20 May 2005 Mount Isa Catholic High School was renamed as Good Shepherd Catholic College. [7] [8] [9]
