St Teresa's College, Abergowrie

“St Teresa's College would like to acknowledge the Warrgamay People, the traditional owners of this country, who freely lived and hunted here as recently as the 1940's. We acknowledge the hospitality of the Warrgamay People, the hospitality of this land, and the reciprocal relationship the College enjoys with their current generations."

St Teresa's College, Abergowrie, has served the needs of families since 1933. There is a strong rural dimension to the College that has developed from pioneering days with the Christian Brothers, at the request of the then Bishop of Townsville, to provide a College that caters especially for boys from rural backgrounds.

The College has excelled over the last decade in supporting parents and communities to educate remote Indigenous Australian students from the Northern Territory, Cape York, the Torres Strait and even the southern Queensland area.

As a Catholic residential boarding College we can offer students, in partnership with their parents, a very complete and fulfilling educational experience. If you would like to know more about what we can offer please feel free to visit the College or contact us by email, phone or fax.

St Teresa's College, Abergowrie strives to:

• create a home away from home and purposely build an inclusive, safe, life giving  environment.
• create an Abergowrie family where the spirit of Jesus Christ is joyfully embraced and evidenced.
• create a learning environment that is relevant, appropriate and authentic to the needs of all students, in line with Townsville Catholic Education Office curriculum guidelines.
• create effective programmes that innovatively engage students to grow into successful, good men.
• create an environment of outreach within the College, drawing on the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice.

St Teresa's College is committed to ensuring a safe school environment for all students, with a focus on the critical area of student welfare. All schools in the Townsville Catholic Diocese have a comprehensive Student Protection program for all staff (teachers, school support staff and office staff) in the Diocese.
