Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Families across the Mackay region now have the opportunity to secure a place for their children in one of the area’s three Catholic secondary colleges, with enrolments for the 2027 school year officially open.
Catholic Secondary Education in Mackay continues to offer families a rich choice of faith-based learning environments, supported by three well-established colleges: Holy Spirit College, Mount Pleasant; St Patrick’s College, Mackay; and Catherine McAuley College, Mackay. Each college maintains a strong commitment to delivering high-quality teaching and learning, supported by values grounded in the Catholic
tradition.
Together, the colleges form a dynamic network focused on nurturing the academic, spiritual, and personal growth of every student entrusted to their care. Their shared mission emphasises excellence, compassion, inclusivity, and service values increasingly sought by families looking for holistic and future-focused education.
As the Mackay region grows, demand for Catholic secondary schooling remains strong. The opening of 2027 enrolments provides families with the chance to explore the unique offerings of each college and secure a place early.
