Welcome to Catholic Education in the Diocese of Cairns, located in the vibrant city of Cairns on Minnie Street. As an establishment and point of interest, Catholic Education Cairns is dedicated to providing a high-quality education to over 12,000 students across the region.

At Catholic Education Cairns, we believe that education is not just about academics. We strive to foster the full development of each child, intellectually, spiritually, physically, morally, and emotionally. Our approach challenges students to discover meaning and value in their lives, develop a sense of communal obligations and aspirations, and embrace the values that unite society. We are dedicated to instilling a commitment to social justice and nurturing compassionate and contributing members of our world.

We take pride in recognizing and celebrating excellence in education through our prestigious Docemus Awards. These awards highlight the outstanding contributions of our staff members who go above and beyond to provide an exceptional learning environment for our students.

Inclusivity is at the heart of our school communities, and we firmly believe that difference brings unity. We celebrate diversity and encourage an inclusive environment where all students feel valued, respected, and supported.

We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Katherine Boot, the newly-appointed Principal at Mother of Good Counsel School in North Cairns. Her insights and dedication to providing a quality education for her students exemplify the values we hold dear at Catholic Education Cairns.

We also emphasize the importance of regular attendance for our students. We believe that a bright future starts with good attendance levels, every day. By attending school regularly, students have the opportunity to fully engage in their learning and take advantage of the many opportunities available to them.
