Every student is entitled to a world-class education, and we want the best people working with us to make it happen.

 

Life in Paradise

Our schools are nestled amongst ancient rainforests, pristine waterfalls, crystal-clear lakes and the spectacular Great Barrier Reef. And you can forget spending hours in the car or on a packed train. The hustle and bustle of the capital cities does not compare to our laidback commute.

Be inspired by our video: 'Living, teaching, and leading in Far North Queensland with Catholic Education Cairns'.
