WELCOME FROM <strong>THE</strong> PRINCIPAL Welcome to The Cathedral College Community. Since the College’s foundation in 1991, we have endeavoured to work in partnership with staff, parents/givers and the wider community for the development of the students we serve. Our College community caters for boys and girls in their secondary school education – Year 8 to 12. Importantly, our College is the only Catholic Boarding school operated by the Catholic Education Office in the Rockhampton Diocese. Our boarders come from all over Queensland, interstate and overseas. At The Cathedral College, we base all that we do on the Gospel values of Jesus Christ which are enshrined in our College Mission Statement and we treasure the opportunity that we have in joining together as a community to pray, work and play in the shadow of St Joseph’s Cathedral. The Cathedral College was founded in 1991. The establishment of The Cathedral College saw the union of the work of two Religious Congregations, the Sisters of Mercy and the Christian Brothers. The College acknowledges gratefully the heritage it has received from both these pioneering educationists in Catholic Education and we work to build on the traditions with which they have endowed us. The College is especially proud of its close association with the worshipping community of St Joseph’s Cathedral of the Catholic Parish of Rockhampton South, the many other worshipping communities and Parishes throughout Central Queensland and the school communities of St Vincent’s Primary Wandal, St Peter’s Primary Allenstown and St Paul’s Primary Gracemere. It may assist in the reading of these Residential Guidelines to remember that the Residential Campuses are an integral and indivisible part of The Cathedral College. Although the Residential Campuses are located a short distance away from the Day Campus, The Cathedral College is a Boarding College in every sense of the word, that is, three Campuses but one centrally administered Boarding College. College life is never better than when the Day Campus and Residential Campuses operate with a whole College focus – each one truly complementing the other. Consideration of the special requirements of our boarders permeates every aspect of the College’s decision making processes and there is no doubt that the real sense of family we experience here at TCC is nourished by the special blessings that accrue to the College from the presence of its boarders. In formulating these Residential Guidelines, every effort has been made to ensure each student has the opportunity to grow and develop in a caring, supportive and disciplined environment.
