Townsville Catholic Education takes cyber safety very seriously and in an effort to reduce our staff being subject to scams, a decision has been made to remove staff email addresses from the school website.

To contact your child's teacher, please access their email address via the Compass app. To get in contact with other staff members, please contact ighm@tsv.catholic.edu.au
