Columba Catholic College is a private, co-educational, Catholic, day and boarding school located in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia. It is a school of the Diocese of Townsville.
Established in 1998, the school currently caters for approximately 610 students from pre-school to year 12, including 200 boarders from year 4 to 12. The college draws students from Charters Towers and surrounding areas. Boarders come from the Northern Territory and Northern Western Australia, plus coastal and Gulf Regions of Queensland.
The current principal of Columba Catholic College is Mr Daniel McShea who took over from Mr Michael Ashton. Althea Norton was the original founding principal of Columba who retired after 10 years of service.
Columba Catholic College was established in 1998 through the amalgamation of three local Catholic schools, St Columba’s Primary School (established in 1876), St Mary’s College (established in 1882) and Mount Carmel College (established by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in 1902).
Columba Catholic College consists of two campuses, known as St Mary's and Mt Carmel. The boarding program operates from the two campuses in order to provide single-sex facilities, the St Mary's campus caters for girls and the Mt Carmel Campus for boys. The Christian Brothers retain ownership of the Mt Carmal campus (the former site of Mt Carmal College) and continue to provide some Brothers to the staff.
