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 — emotionally, spiritually, socially and physically. We seek to form young people who are confident, have respect for themselves and others and are morally autonomous.

Athletics Day 1, Competition is on!🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻
There’s something special about those moments—cheering on friends, pushing your limits, and just soaking in the spirit of the day. It’s not just about winning; it’s about heart.

Year 11 Retreat 🏕️ This term our Year 11 students embarked on a retreat at the idyllic Quinola Lakes.

Moments of laughter and song were woven with quiet reflection and heartfelt sharing in activities that nurtured the heart, mind and spirit. We're so proud of the students for their courage in exploring their values, genuine care for each other, and vulnerability in reflecting on their journey with God and each other!

Thanks to Dave Jorna from Project Hatch and to the staff for accompanying the students on this journey.

  • 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.
