A Catholic School in the Edmund Rice Tradition
For boys in Years 5 to 12
At St Mary’s College it is our mission to empower students to be men of faith, integrity, action and excellence.
We provide boys the opportunity to achieve excellence in all areas of their holistic education guided by our four touchstones: gospel spirituality, inclusive community, justice and solidarity and liberating education.
At St Mary’s College, we focus on and are specialists in boys’ education, providing various relevant and modern learning experiences, as well as extra-curricular activities.
Established in Toowoomba in 1899, St Mary’s College has played an integral part in educating young men in regional Queensland for over 125 years.
