Join Us For Primary
Our Primary Years program fosters the development of students through tailor-made learning and pastoral programs designed to nurture inquisitive learners, build confidence, and grow character as people of integrity as students move through the College and into their teenage years.
Our Year 5 and Year 6 students are supported at each step of their journey by staff who are committed to providing excellence in age-appropriate learning experiences and pastoral support. Our specialist Primary teachers work alongside Secondary specialists to deliver the Religious Education program and the eight key learning areas of the P-12 Curriculum; English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Health and Physical Education, Technologies, The Arts and Languages. View our Primary Subjects.
Applications for Year 5 entry can be made online from the time a student is in Year 3.

Join Us For Senior
Our Senior students are encouraged to question rather than to assume, to challenge rather than to conform, and are empowered to take the lead rather than to follow.
At St Rita’s College, we understand that figuring out what you want to do after school can be challenging, especially as our students exit the school gates and enter into jobs and careers that are continuously evolving. To support our Senior students through this time our dedicated team of teachers remain committed to providing a comprehensive and engaging curriculum to equip students with the foundational skills and knowledge to realise their potential and create opportunities to critically and confidently explore their interests beyond the classroom.
Here are some ways we support our Senior students to make informed decisions about their future, while still enjoying their time as SRC students:
- A wide breadth of subject choices to allow students to study areas of strength and interest
- ATAR and Tertiary Vocational Pathways, including the opportunity to study the Diploma of Business and other various qualifications while at school
- Year 11 Work Experience Program
- Sofitel Noosa Resort and Spa ‘Live and Learn’ Work Experience - An immersive program unique to St Rita’s College
- Careers Fairs and Expos
- Career Counselling and Guidance
- Year 10 Careers Day
- Subject Selection Support and mentoring for students
- Access to alumnae and College community connections
- Active Student tracking and response
- View our Senior Subjects
In teaching our students the courage to stand alone, and the power of standing together as a College community, we challenge and support them to be people of action not just words as they prepare to live and learn beyond the school gates.
Limited spaces are currently available in Years 10 - 11.
Applications for Year 7 entry can be made online from the time a student is in Year 3.
