History

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School was established by the Sisters of St Joseph in Railway Avenue in 1923 and operated there until 1984. In 1964, the Sisters established a secondary school for girls called San Jose Catholic Secondary School (also known as San Jose College) on Twenty-Third Avenue. Both schools closed as part of a rationalisation and amalgmation of Catholic schools in Mount Isa. On 29 January 1985, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School relocated to the San Jose site in Twenty-Third Avenue, while the San Jose College amalgamated with St Kieran's Christian Brothers College in Menzies to form the co-educational Mount Isa Catholic High School (later renamed Good Shepherd Catholic College) at the former St Kieran's site at Menzies. [3] [4]

Mount Isa State High School opened on 2 February 1953. It closed on 31 December 2002. In 2003 it amalgamated with Kalkadoon State High School to create Spinifex State College with two campuses, a junior campus (7-9) at the former Mount Isa State High School and a senior campus (10-12) at the former Kalkadoon State High School (in Pioneer). [3]

In the 2011 census, Parkside had a population of 1,784 people. [5]
