Are Catholic schools in Queensland also rolling out the National Curriculum as the public schools, or do they have their own curriculum? I'm specifically interested in primary school.

It is. I remember agonising over it with my eldest. However, the one conclusion I came too was that, if it doesn't "fit" you can always change. Your initial decision is not set in stone. You never really know a school until you are there, in the middle of things. Plus different schools suit different students. I know many families (some teachers themselves) who have kids at different schools. I have a work colleague who has 4 boys (ranging from year 5 to year 11) at 3 different schools. One of them has swapped twice (A to H, back to A for a year and now at H) in the past 3 years just to find his niche.
