Welcome Welcome to St Raphael's College which is the Womens'-only College within The Combined Catholic Colleges of St Raphael & St Paul. The College has a proud tradition which extends back over a period of almost 40 years. At the commencement of 2006, the College joined with St Paul's Catholic co-educational College to become The Combined Catholic Colleges of St Raphael & St Paul. Both Colleges operate under the auspices of The Roman Catholic Trust Corporation for the Diocese of Townsville. The Principal, together with the Head of College (St Raphael's) (who is also the Assistant Principal of The Combined Catholic Colleges report to the College Council, which has 12 members comprised of the previous College Councils of St Raphael’s and St Paul. The Council meets on a regular basis throughout the year to discuss College business. The Principal is responsible for the day-to-day management and administration of the College and is also involved with policy-making decisions which directly affect the College. The capacity of the College is for 78 students. A student Executive operates within the College and is responsible for promoting the social, cultural and sporting events within the College. Community is emphasized within the College, and each individual Resident is expected to make a contribution to promote and strengthen the College spirit and ethos. Spiritual aspects of the College include a weekly Mass (held in St Paul’s Chapel on Sunday evenings at 7pm) together with various prayer meetings, scripture readings and liturgies held on a regular basis. Primarily, the College has an outstanding record of academic achievement among its residents, and its main emphasis is on promoting an academic environment. However, this does not obviate the vibrant social atmosphere which exists in the College and to which all residents are invited to participate. The College welcomes students from a diverse range of faiths, cultures and countries and you are welcome to browse through our remaining web-pages to familiarize yourself with the facilities and special environment which comprises St Raphael’s College.
