Founded as a girl’s secondary school in 1963 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, St Margaret Mary’s College is a Townsville Girls Catholic High School.

The College accepts enrolments from girls Years 7 to 12, with a wide variety of subjects and vocational programs. The College is also noted for its many extracurricular activities, its commitment to students with special needs and its variety of service opportunities for students.

College emphasises participation, service and the full development of young women who can contribute positively to the world. With a range of modern facilities and equipment, e

Our young women choose across the whole educational range of courses and careers. The College strives to produce well-educated, articulate young women, able to appreciate and participate in many spheres of life.

St Margaret Mary’s College provides an inspirited and inspired education grounded in the tradition of the parable of the Good Samaritan. Our young women are empowered to reach their potential through academic excellence, and in the many opportunities offered at the College such as the Arts, Languages, Music, Drama and Sport. At St Margaret Mary’s our students are motivated to succeed by an expert team of educators and specialised support staff. We hope that the ‘Maggies’ who walk through the gates of our College take advantage of all of the opportunities provided to them here, including a willingness to embrace the house spirit, the community events and the ‘sisterhood’ cultivated across the year levels through our pastoral care programs. Our young women are encouraged to develop their leadership potential and the responsibility to make a positive impact within the school community and a difference to the broader society.
