Saint Augustine's College, known locally as "Saints", is a Catholic boys' high school in Parramatta Park, Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Saints houses boarders both from its own students and girls from Saint Monica's High School, also in Cairns.

History

In 1930 the Marist Brothers established the school for boys. Initially there were three Marist brothers and 96 students.[2]

During World War II, air raids on Australian towns by Japan and the fear of an invasion by the Japanese led to evacuations from northern Australian towns. In March 1942, the boarders (being most of the students) were evacuated to the guest house at Lake Barrine.[2][3]

Boarding school

Saint Augustine's offers a co-ed boarding school catering for students from grades 7 to 12. The boarding community includes many students from the Far North Queensland region, along with many country students from outback Queensland and the Northern Territory. A significant number of students also board from as far away as Papua New Guinea, Gove and other islands off the coast of Australia.

Sport

The college is a member of the Cairns Interschool Senior Sport Association (CISSA[4]) which sees a number of local schools compete in a number of different sports each Wednesday. CISSA runs during the first semester of the school year. Saint Augustine's has also been very successful in holding the Overall Boys' TCN Swimming Champion trophy for 40 years.

Rugby union

The school won all competitions in the 2014 Cairns Schoolboys Rugby Union competition.

School houses

Saint Augustine's has four houses. They are as follows:
