Our History
Since 1896 St James has stood for a quality Catholic education where students develop courage, and the ability to shape their future though Christ-centred learning.

Set in the heart of Cygnet surrounded by the beautiful Huon Valley, St James is a vibrant connected community that welcomes students from Kindergarten through to Year 10.
Since 1896 St James has stood for a quality Catholic education where students develop courage, and the ability to shape their future though Christ-centred learning.
Our broad curriculum instils curiosity and motivates students to learn and grow. The development of good character and a determination to succeed are hallmarks of St James’ students.
As a new family to the state and the area, we were keen on a lifestyle change, especially for our children. We appreciate that St James Catholic College is close to where we live, that all our children, who span primary and secondary, can come to the same school and the Christian values that underpin the way the college operates.

As parents, who were both students at the college, our first re-introduction to St James Catholic College was with the Little Lights, pre-Kinder program and the excellent screening and intervention programs the college has that continue throughout their educational journey. We very much appreciate the teaching methodology that sees each student as an individual as well as our wish to support a local school for locals.
