Mackay Christian College is a leading, dynamic, growing school. MCC is a non-profit organisation with an aim to provide an affordable quality Christian education. Situated in tropical North Queensland it is a multi-denominational Pre-prep (Kindy) - Year 12 co-educational Christian day school committed to providing a safe environment in which students can develop academically, spiritually and socially through quality curriculum, modern facilities and dedicated, caring staff. Mackay Christian College offers a variety of academic, sporting, agricultural, vocational learning and performing arts activities. It welcomes students from all walks of life, including ESL students, Indigenous students, international students and students with disabilities.

St Patrick's Senior College holds as its central character the motto ‘Seek Christ'. This aspect informs and shapes every element of our spiritual, academic, cultural, sporting and vocational life. We are a Catholic community of educators working in partnership with a variety of stakeholders to provide excellence in Senior Schooling. While being a Senior College is part of our recent history, we draw on many years of Catholic education dating from 1929, for both males and females, primary and secondary, on this site. The College is open to all who seek its values and encourages all to be part of and involved in the spirit and practice of a Catholic community of the 21st century. St Patrick's aims to help you develop into a self directed learner. You will find academic work in the senior school challenging, both in the amount of study necessary for success, and the difficulty of the work covered.
