Why Catholic Education Cairns?

We value our staff and believe every employee plays a vital role in shaping the future generation. We value wellbeing and career progression, and our schools promote high standards of behaviour and respect. 

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'.
