The 2021 College yearbooks have arrived - 242 pages bursting with colour, energy and fullness of life here at the College in 2021.

We hope you enjoy revisiting 2021 and the comprehensive review, especially during Catholic Education Week.
MASK WEARING AT TCC
As covid and flu infections continue to increase within the community we're encouraged to play our part in helping to prevent the spread by following the recommendations from Queensland Health: wearing a mask indoors when social distancing isn't possible, hand washing/sanitising and general hygiene will help create a safer environment for us all. We ask you to consider these recommendations.
