Early learning centre Established in 2006, the early learning centre accepts children from 6 weeks to kindergarten age. The centre emphasises learning through play and also operates a Queensland Approved Kindergarten Program.
Junior School (Prep–Year 6) The Junior School has its own buildings on the campus and caters for children from Prep to Year 6. There is a strong focus on developing literacy, numeracy and ICT skills. In addition, students from Year 2 and up participate in the school's outdoor education program.
Middle School (Year 7–9) Housed in its own building the Middle School was opened in 2006 and accommodates Years 7 through 9 in purpose-built classrooms. The building contains five classrooms for the use of all three grades as many middle school classes are held in senior school classrooms. The entire middle school building is covered by a
Wi-Fi network and laptops are easily available for flexible use within classrooms. The Middle Schooling Program at The Cathedral School represents an exciting and challenging opportunity for students, staff, the school, and wider community to deal more effectively with a broad range of issues confronting young adolescents in a dynamic and evolving modern world. While these issues are not necessarily new, traditionally, they have been addressed independently of one another and as a result the solutions and programs offered have been less effective.
Senior School (Year 10–12) The Senior School is set around the Nancy Armati Quadrangle which lies in the shadow of a 100+ year old
rain tree. Within the senior school there are 6 science laboratories, 11 general purpose classrooms, three computer laboratories and a number of other subject specific rooms including Hospitality, Art and Graphics rooms. All the schools rooms are fully air-conditioned all are equipped with
smartboards, projectors and multimedia systems. The senior school is the home of the Feetham Information Services Centre (ISC) which services the Middle and Senior schools. The ISC houses a complete range of text and reference books for the school's curriculum and also houses large fiction and non-fiction sections. The ISC also keeps a collection of local newspapers for a period of three to four months after publishing and has a vertical file storage system for articles of importance or are related to the schools curriculum. The ISC also has access to hundreds of Australian and international newspapers stored in a digital format and articles can be retrieved on request. The Information services centre also has a large computer section which students can use to access the school's network in their free time or during some classes. A multimedia computer is also available for use and is configured for use with the schools digital cameras, a scanner and camcorders. The senior school also houses the schools drama and music centre. The Green Hall, formerly the boarders' dining hall, and drama hall, is fitted with a stage, seating and the appropriate lighting and sound equipment. The centre also includes a number of rooms of varying sizes used for rehearsal and practise for various music groups and individuals. The main music room, the fishbowl (as it is affectionately known due to its large glass double-glazed windows), is a sound insulated room which allows for performance groups and individuals to practise within school hours without disturbing other students. Construction on the Rock Centre, finished in 2013. The centre is now an Air-conditioned sport centre as well as an assembly area. Drama classes now take place on the stage, to give a more practical feel. The Sisters of the Sacred Advent block (The SSA building) is the main teaching block in the senior school and is used for a variety of classes from English and maths to geography and graphics. The building, built in 2002 houses 10 purpose built classrooms as well as a number of staff offices. Three of the rooms in the SSA building are fully equipped computer laboratories which can be used by classes that require computer usage. In December 2008 the new Science centre and a150 seat Lecture Theatre was completed. Year 10 provides a broad-based foundation with students acquiring knowledge and skills across the eight Key Learning Areas. In the final two years of secondary school, students select the subjects that best suit their interests, abilities and career aspirations. In addition, students are involved in physical, cultural and spiritual programs which help them develop and mature in mind, body and spirit. In 2013 the refurbished Rock Centre was opened. It features a fully air-conditioned space for school assemblies and indoor sports such as Basketball and Netball. The centre also contains new state of the art audio visual equipment.
