Boarding facilities at MSB offer a safe, nurturing and caring environment. The new and refurbished residential facilities, an investment of over $5m, will be open for the 2010 school year and will accommodate 100 boarders in contemporary and comfortable facilities. More>

Construction Update
Work has substantially been completed on the refurbishment of the Bernard’s building as a residential facility. The new residential development will be completed over the coming Easter break. I know the students are delighted with the new-look dorms and we eagerly await the move next term. The Science building refurbishment is well underway. These upgraded facilities will significantly enhance the learning experience at MSB. In the second half of the year construction of new Library and IT facilities will commence.

Welcome......

Welcome to Mount St Bernard College where we offer a quality, Catholic secondary education for young people, male and female, in Years 8 thru 12.

At MSB we are proud of our Mercy traditions, while remaining responsive to the contemporary needs of students who seek a faith-based education that will stand them in good stead for the future.

Our College is a culturally diverse community which provides a holistic education that nurtures the academic, spiritual, emotional, physical, cultural and social development of individual students in a caring, safe and supportive environment. At MSB we recognise the individuality of every one of our students. We seek to help each student become the best person they can be, by providing quality learning and teaching and making available a rich tapestry of sporting, artistic and other co-curricular activities, to help them discover and develop their personal giftedness.

I invite you to visit or contact our school and talk with our leadership team about an educational partnership that will launch your child well into the future with a strong academic foundation based on Christian values. In the words of our school motto; “Let your light shine!”

We are so proud of our MSB Seniors......

We are so proud of our MSB seniors. Our School and Residential Captains received the National Flag from Federal Member for Kennedy, Hon Bob Katter when he visited Assembly this week. Only a day earlier they attended the IMPACT Student Leadership workshop in Cairns and are drawing up a number of exciting initiatives to enrich student life and participation at MSB.

A number of seniors have been representing MSB at a variety of functions and forums. Anthony Stancombe acquitted himself well as our representative in the Lion’s Youth of the Year quest last weekend. Several MSB delegations represented us at several student Constitutional Conventions in Cairns. Both Brian O’Connor and Serayma Thomas prepared and delivered speeches relating to the importance of the content in the Preamble to the Australian Constitution. Serayma has been selected to represent FNQ at a national gathering in Canberra at the end of March.

2010 Leaders
MSB school leaders mean business: Anthony (Captain). Danica (Female
Boarding Vice Captain), Ivy (Boarding Captain), James (Male Boarding
Vice Captain) and Clare (Captain) with Mr Luke Reed, Principal.

The role of school leadership is not taken lightly by our new captains. “It is a great honour to be elected by my fellow students. I will try to live up to their expectations and make a positive contribution to the life of the school,” said Anthony. To assist the captains in their roles, they attended the Impact School Leadership Conference in Cairns on March 2. This innovative program aims to give students a clear vision and solid understanding of their role, inspire them with dozens of ideas for their time as a leader and promote networking between schools.
