St Saviour's College Toowoomba

What St Saviour's College Toowoomba does

St Saviour's College Toowoomba is a private Catholic all-girls secondary school located on Neil Street in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, operating under Toowoomba Catholic Schools within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Toowoomba. Founded in 1873 by the Sisters of Mercy, the College serves female students across Years 7-12 in a day-school model, supplemented by boarding at McAuley House for regional and interstate students. The College's core educational offering comprises the Junior Curriculum (Years 7-9) with foundation subjects and elective tasters, and the Senior Curriculum (Years 10-12) providing General ATAR, applied subjects and Certificate courses. Distinctive programs include the Health Hub (a simulated Health Clinic co-designed with Mater Education delivering Certificate II/III qualifications), VET pathways, the EmpowerED Wellbeing Framework, and the Mercy Mentors Program connecting students with alumnae professionals. Technology is non-proprietary, comprising Sentral Parent Portal, Schoolzine for communications, virtual learning environments for selected senior subjects, and integration partners such as Flexischools, School Locker and Bus Queensland.

The College's revenue model is primarily tuition-fee based with a $215 Confirmation of Enrolment Fee per student upon acceptance, supplemented by recurrent government funding for Catholic schools and boarding fees. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective families attend tours, 'Girl for a Morning' immersive events, and submit online enrolment applications followed by a Principal interview. Marketing channels are predominantly organic — school website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), Schoolzine newsletters, in-person events, and the Parent Engagement Network referral channel. Customer segments are families in the Toowoomba/Darling Downs region seeking all-girls Catholic education, and boarding families from across Queensland.

Operational expansion is anchored by the 2026-2035 Campus Masterplan and the national recognition received in the 2026 Educator Awards for Wellbeing Program of the Year. The College holds CRICOS Provider Code 00517D, enabling international student enrolment. The leadership team is led by Principal Jessica Wade (appointed 2024) with Deputy, Assistant Principals, a Business Manager, Curriculum Leaders across disciplines, and dedicated pastoral, chaplaincy and counselling staff.
