School statement

Southern Cross Catholic College is a P to Y 12 day-school offering families a co-educational pathway to lifelong learning. The College was founded in 1995, following the amalgamation of previous schools, and is committed to continuing and developing the tradition of Catholic education begun by its founders the Brigidine Sisters, the Sisters of St Joseph, the De La Salle Brothers and Monsignor Bartholomew Frawley, who taught in the original schools. Today, the multi-campus College operates as the principal Catholic college on the Redcliffe Peninsula. Southern Cross has three campuses in Scarborough, Kippa Ring and Woody Point accommodating students in P to Y 6, and a fourth campus in Scarborough accommodating middle and senior years students from Y 7 to 12.
