Explore our School
The Cathedral School of St Anne & St James is located in the suburb of Mundingburra, only 6km’s from the centre of Townsville in North Queensland.
Students from Kindergarten to Year 12 enjoy the unique natural environment created by the massive rain trees and freshwater lagoon on the school’s grounds. The single campus is ‘family-friendly’ and provides an easy transition for students as they progress through their years at school. We invite you to explore our beautiful campus and to talk to us about how we can assist your child on their educational journey.

Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to a very special place.
As the eighth Principal of The Cathedral School of St Anne & St James and the former Head of Junior School, I can genuinely tell you that Cathedral is far more than a school. It is a caring community of people who share the common goal of ensuring that our students receive every opportunity to become the best possible version of themselves.
LUKE BAILLS, PRINCIPAL
