School Of The Year Nominee

School Of The Year Nominee

The Junior School has been nominated in the Star 106.3 ‘School Of The Year’ award for 2023. Voting is open until June 7.

The school with the most votes will win $10,000 to enhance its capabilities and facilities for its students and community. The Cathedral School plans to create an ‘Eco-Wonder Pod’ if successful.

‘The Junior School ‘Eco-Wonder Pod’ Initiative will promote holistic child development by providing a safe and stimulating environment.  It will encourage outdoor exploration, sensory engagement, and imaginative play, fostering physical, cognitive, and emotional growth. This portable and versatile solution will offer our students educational value, encourage sustainability, and promote a deeper connection with nature. The POD will consist of bamboo lengths, vines, large leaves, twigs, sticks and other natural environment items to encourage imaginative play at break time. Star 106.3FM is giving $10,000 to one lucky Townsville primary school to enhance its capabilities and facilities for its students and community.  The Junior School has been lucky enough to be nominated and we need your help to make the ‘Eco-Wonder Pod’ happen. 

Come on The Cathedral School Community we need your help!’

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
