St Thomas More College (STMC) is a Catholic coeducational secondary school in Sunnybank, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is approximately 15 km south of the Brisbane CBD. It is a part of Brisbane Catholic Education.

History

St. Thomas More College, named after St. Thomas More, is a secondary school operated under the Brisbane Catholic Education system. The college was opened for the first time in January 1974, with an enrolment of 75 boys, under principal Jim Slingsby. The following year, the college made the move to become coeducational with an enrolment of 143 girls and 96 boys. Presentation Sisters were part of the staff until 1988.

The chapel

Our Lady of Sacred Heart Catholic Church opened in Cooranga (then known as Cooranga North) on Sunday 11 September 1938 on land donated by Mrs Mary Gertrude O'Brien. It was at 152 Cooranga North Niagara Road (). On 28 June 2017 in the middle of the night, the church building was relocated to St Thomas More College, where it is used as the school's chapel. The relocation required two trucks, one for the church body and another for the roof, and the journey was 380 km.
