PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME
As Principal of St Ursula’s College Yeppoon, I welcome you to our website. Each page provides a snapshot of how we support our students to Live, Love, Learn and Lead through the values of the Presentation Sisters.
St Ursula’s College, Yeppoon, was founded in 1918 by the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (PBVM) and is a Ministry of Mercy Partners. As an independent Catholic Day and Boarding Secondary College, St Ursula’s offers an education for young women of the future based on gospel values and Nano Nagle’s vision, with a particular commitment to:
The promotion of, and education for, justice;
The development of leadership;
Encouraging students to strive towards reaching their potential; and
Preparing students to participate fully and responsibly in society.
This vision sees an emphasis on an educational environment where the gospel values are experienced both in daily living and through authentic and engaging learning experiences, developing critical and future-focussed learners.
At St Ursula’s College, we offer girls in Years 7-12 a holistic, comprehensive, faith-filled Secondary education encompassing academic and vocational pathways to tertiary study and /or employment. We celebrate every student and their unique abilities; this dynamic culture produces strong, confident young women, capable of forging a positive path for themselves by embracing the College motto of “Perfice Gressus Meos” (Perfect My Steps).
Our Boarding House, Yumba-Gy-You, is located on campus, nestled in the foothills of the Yeppoon Central Business District, within walking distance to the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Yeppoon has a population of 18,100 residents and is a safe and friendly close-knit community on the Capricorn Coast in tropical Queensland.
As you navigate this website and our resources, we trust that you will be equipped to make the best choice for your daughter’s future; however, if we can be of further assistance do not hesitate to contact the College.

TROPICAL COAST OF QUEENSLAND : YEPPOON
Yeppoon is the gateway to the Capricorn Coast and the wonders of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Famous for its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, Yeppoon has village-style appeal with well-developed Hospitality, Retail and Arts industries.
Our talented Dance Troupe, led by Ms Melissa Thomas, competed in the Rockhampton Dance Festival this week, their final competition of the year. They embraced the opportunity to share their hard work, talent and routine with the audience, representing our College impeccably and giving their all on the stage.
Our dancers performed three routines (Jazz, Hip Hop and Contemporary) and were up against some strong competition. The girls rehearse with such vibrance and energy every week and it really showed in their performances, earning the placings of:
Highly Commended in Hip Hop; and
🥉3rd Place for Contemporary.
Congratulations on your excellent achievements, we are very proud of you!

The combined efforts of our fundraising in the lead up to the Walk for PNG event raised in excess of $2,500! Our local Presentation Associates organised a very successful multi-draw raffle, our Library donated funds from Book Week sales, and a diligent group of volunteers spent lunchtimes selling merchandise such as friendship bracelets. The total was also boosted by donations from yesterday's R U Ok? Day sausage sizzle and cake stall in the courtyard.
We were thrilled to see so many students and staff take to the track on the Yeppoon Rail Trail as part of our annual Walk for PNG. Zooper doopers were a lovely cool treat to beat the heat too!
Many thanks to all those who worked behind the scenes to raise funds and awareness in support of the Presentation Mission in Papua New Guinea.
