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.

🏆 ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴡʜᴇᴇʟʙᴀʀʀᴏᴡ ʀᴀᴄᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴍᴘɪᴏɴꜱ! 🏆

We are proud to announce that our Senior Saints Great Wheelbarrow Race team has won the 2025 Great Wheelbarrow Race, taking out the school category AND the overall win! 💪👋 The students averaged 3 minutes per kilometre over the 140 km race, all while pushing a wheelbarrow! 🏃🏃‍♀️

This incredible team secured the lead from the first day, affording them the privilege of pushing the golden wheelbarrow on days 2 and 3. When they finally crossed the line, they were a huge 12 minutes ahead of their closest competition. ⏱🤩

We are also proud to share that our Junior Saints team came third in the school category and 7th overall. The effort that this team put in was remarkable, and on the final day, despite being tired and sore, the students were able to improve their overall position from 9th to 7th. Amazing!! 💪👏

Congratulations to all participants - we know how gruelling this race is! We also thank our many supporters who contributed to the success of our teams and helped us to raise important funds for the Mareeba Friends of the Hospital Foundation.

  • 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.
