St Andrew's Catholic College (STACC)

Welcome to St Andrew's Catholic College (STACC), a Catholic co-educational institution located in the picturesque Redlynch Valley of Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia. As the leading provider of Catholic Education in the region, we are committed to nurturing our students to be future-ready, both academically and personally, for the pathways that lie ahead.

At St Andrew's, we understand the importance of faith development, spirituality, and knowledge. Our College community is built on the teachings of Jesus Christ, and we strive to create a collaborative and inclusive environment where open and honest communication is valued. We believe that education should not only be about academic excellence but also about fostering personal growth and character development.

Our College campus spans across 25 acres of pristine tropical gardens, providing a serene and beautiful backdrop for learning. With state-of-the-art facilities and resources, including contemporary classrooms, a performing arts theatre, sporting ovals, trade training center, Science/STEM laboratories, libraries, and a commercial kitchen and café, our students have access to everything they need to thrive academically and personally.

As a Prep to Year 12 College, we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and promote excellence in learning and teaching. We believe in fostering active community participation, encouraging our students to become engaged and responsible members of society.

We also recognize and acknowledge the First Nations peoples of Australia, the traditional custodians of the land, seas, skies, and waterways on which we reside. We pay our respects to the elders, past, present, and emerging, and support the Uluru Statement From The Heart. We understand and appreciate that the land, seas, skies, and waterways of Australia have always belonged to the First Nations peoples.
