The Southern Cross Catholic College (SCCC) is a co-educational Roman Catholic day school located in the suburb of Scarborough on the Redcliffe peninsula north-east of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia.
History
The college opened 30 January 1995 after the amalgamation of several schools on the Redcliffe Peninsula; in particular: De La Salle College - both the Junior and Secondary College (located on Scarborough Road), Frawley College (located on Scarborough Road), Soubirous College, St Bernadette's (Scarborough), Our Lady Help of Christians (Redcliffe) and Our Lady of Lourdes (Woody Point). The De La Salle campus (years 7 to 12), is located in Scarborough and three primary schools (prep to year 6) are located in Scarborough, Woody Point and Kippa-Ring, respectively.
The previous Headmasters were Paul Woodcock, Robyn Killoran Greg Myers and Brett Horton, the current principal is Chris Campbell. The school is built on the old De La Salle College site.
Houses
The school has four sporting and cultural house groups to which the students are assigned. They are:
| House | Colour | Namesake | Mascot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delany | Blue | Bishop Daniel Delany | Dolphin |
| Frawley | Green | Monsignor Bartholomew Frawley | Dragon |
| La Salle | Red | John Baptist de La Salle | Lion |
| MacKillop | White | Mary of the Cross MacKillop | Boomer |
Land development
Since the amalgamation in 1995, several developments have taken place involving land and buildings that previously were occupied by the college. The former site of Soubirous College and St Bernadette's of Scarborough (including the chapel) have since been developed into residential housing.
The lower ovals of the De La Salle Campus have been used for an expansion of an aged care facility that adjoins the school.
The site previously occupied by Frawley College was incorporated as part of the College in 1995 and became campus for the senior secondary students of Southern Cross Catholic College until it was developed in 2006 as the Australian Trade College North Brisbane.
