Welcome Back!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to The Cathedral School for 2023! For some it will be a whole new journey, for others, a chance to reconnect with friends and teachers.

Parents would have received their 2023 P&F Calendar which has the feature events and important dates of the year. The digital calendars will soon be replaced with an updated notification system through eCat, so please refer to the printed calendar for planned events.

Many would have also received communications from the school highlighting the amazing achievement of the graduates of 2022 with impressive ATAR results.

“I can report that we have an amazing seven students whose ATARs are greater than 99, and the median ATAR score for the cohort was an astonishing 89.65 (i.e., 50% of our students received a score above 89.65). Alongside our excellent ATARs, 54 members of the graduating class also received 71 Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications; with several students awarded at least two certificates. The 2022 Year 12 Graduates have now received their university offers for 2023, with over 76% of students receiving their first choice of course. We are also aware that several graduates have received substantial scholarship offers from universities across Queensland.”

Principal Ian Gamack
