The Cathedral College, a Catholic co-educational boarding College located in Rockhampton, was founded in 1991 through the amalgamation of Sisters of Mercy Range College and St Joseph's Christian Brothers College. It is a secondary college from Years 8-12 with 850 students. The College provides separate male and female residential accommodation close to the day campus. As a Catholic College all our endeavours are carried out within a faith community. We value the dignity of the person and the provision of a caring environment where all students can realise their full potential. The pastoral care system enables supportive relationships to be established between the staff, parents and students. A successful transition program is provided for students in the Middle Phase of Schooling, At the Senior Phase of Schooling students are able to pursue an academic and/or vocational pathway, including school-based apprenticeships and traineeships. Students graduating from the College have pursued a number of pathways post-school including university studies, TAFE courses, apprenticeships, traineeships and full-time work. Our students are encouraged to be involved in co-curricular activities. Public speaking and debating competitions participation are encouraged. The College's Concert and Stage Bands and College Choir participate in the Rockhampton Eisteddfod and various music festivals with great success. The College seeks to inspire all members of its community to strive by word and action to respond to Christ's call to 'Come, live life in all its fullness.' (Jn10:10)
