Welcome to Catholic Education in the Diocese of Cairns
The 30 Catholic schools and colleges of the Cairns Diocese educate over 12,000 students – from Tully in the south, west to the Atherton Tablelands, and north to the Torres Strait.

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.s
