Welcome to Catholic Education in the Diocese of Cairns

The 30 Catholic schools and colleges of the Cairns Diocese educate almost 11,500 students – from Tully in the South, west to the Atherton Tablelands, and north to the Torres Strait.

A Catholic education provides an educational foundation for life to the full; a quality education that is not merely academic, but also focuses on full development of the child – intellectually, spiritually, physically, morally and emotionally. We challenge our students to find meaning and value in their lives, develop communal obligations and aspirations, espouse values which unite society infused by a commitment to social justice and become compassionate and contributing members of our world. more… about Welcome…
