Welcome to St Stephen’s Catholic College

St Stephen’s Catholic College is a co-educational secondary school located in Mareeba, approximately 60 km west of Cairns. Founded in 2006 on 28 hectares and administered by the Catholic Diocese of Cairns, our college provides a quality secondary education for students from the surrounding Tablelands and Mossman areas.

Our vision is that St Stephen’s Catholic College will be a safe and nurturing learning community where students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning, to build successful relationships, to have an awareness of God’s presence and to strive to achieve their personal best.

Our college enjoys an excellent reputation in academic rigour and performance, while also providing support for students from varied ability levels. The Australian curriculum informs teaching and learning in years 7 to 10, with the senior schooling curriculum structured to meet the needs of students who are following an academic or vocational pathway. Modern facilities and a strong emphasis on technology combine to enhance the learning experiences of our students.

Our pastoral care program is designed to develop the whole person β€” emotionally, spiritually, socially and physically. We seek to form young people who are confident, have respect for themselves and others and are morally autonomous.

Last week, we celebrated NAIDOC Week at St Stephen's, with a vibrant range of activities and events planned for students and staff to enjoy, while honouring the strength, resilience, and legacy of our First Nations communities.

The national theme, β€œThe Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy”, recognises the vital role our Elders and First Nations peoples have played and continue to play in guiding and inspiring future generations.

We thank the generosity of our special guests, who kindly visited and inspired our students through yarning, art activities, fire making, a shared food experience and film night. Thank you also to Ms Reys, Mrs Cummings and Ms Sugars for organising these special activities.

Debating season is here, and our talented St Stephen's debating teams came away with a win in both the junior and senior categories last night at St Augustine's College! πŸ†πŸ‘

Congratulations to Senior Team 1 – Charlotte, Summer and King, and Junior Team 2 – Eadie, Hannah, and Rachel. These winning teams were outstanding and showed great teamwork and confidence under pressure. πŸ˜€

Our other teams were also amazing and were only narrowly beaten, with the judging panel struggling to choose the winning team. The students represented the college with pride and showed great promise. ✨

Our debating teams are backed by a large support group including reserves; Jack, Raf, Elsbeth, Mia, and Ruben, and our wonderful teachers, Ms Barnes and Mrs Paolacci. πŸ™

Congratulations teams! πŸ‘

  • We are honoured to be here today as we gather on the traditional land of the Muluridji people. We acknowledge and pay our respects to the elders and their families: past, present and emerging. Unique from our own Country, yet unified. With traditions that have been passed down through generations, we bring our own values, knowledge and beliefs of land and people. Together, on this land of the Muluridji people, we come to a place where we have the privilege of learning with each other and from each other to grow together to unite our people.
