St Augustine's College is a specialist school in the education of boys, conducted by the Marist Brothers for the Diocese of Cairns.
The aim at St Augustine's is to provide each boy with an environment in which he feels welcome and secure, where he can pursue his dreams and develop his talents with both confidence and purpose, and where his full human growth - spiritual, academic, physical, emotional and vocational - can be nurtured.
At St Augustine's we believe that at the heart of a boy's movement through adolescence is the development of a healthy self-esteem. Boys need to feel positive about who they are, so that they can grow into confident, articulate and compassionate young men who will live their lives with purpose and optimism. The College's broad range of curricular, co-curricular and pastoral programmes all begin with this premise. Therefore, the chief priority of "Saints" is to ensure that each of our students feels known, and known well. We take to heart the first rule of the founder of Marist education, St Marcellin Champagnat, that "to educate a child properly, first you must love him."
