Located on Queensland’s Capricorn Coast St Ursula’s College Yeppoon a Girls catholic Boarding and Day College of about 500 was founded in 1918 by the Presentation Sisters and its legacy is evident in our ethos and values. The Mission Statement promotes the learning and living of Gospel values such as Integrity Respect Excellence and Justice. As one of the few Queensland schools catering specifically for the learning needs of girls the pedagogy reflects an understanding of the brain development of adolescent girls. Common Curriculum Elements are embedded in all programs and Dimensions of Learning underpin teaching and learning strategies. Academic achievement and commitment to study are recognized with special assemblies and awards. Learning enhancement opportunities are provided. Climate proximity to the beach and a diverse program of activities encourage a healthy lifestyle. Students play a range of sports with the chance to compete at District Regional and State levels. Through Musical Vocal Drama and Public Speaking opportunities individual talents are fostered. Community involvement and citizenship are developed through groups such as Interact and a Visiting the Elderly Program. St Ursula’s College prepares young women to step confidently into the future.
