WE'RE GOING ON TOUR
This year we're on tour to catch up with as many families as possible interested in Boarding at our Catholic Co-educational College. This gives us the opportunity to meet families on home ground and gain a greater appreciation of their beautiful part of Queensland called home. We're also looking forward to catching up with many of our existing Boarding families in these centres at these events. To help us get the word out, parents please share with your family or friends who may be interested and ask them to visit our website for more information tccr.com.au
