Downlands College

Canberra Private Schools introduces Downlands College in Toowoomba, for all your education and learning needs.

Owned and conducted by the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, Downlands is more than just a school. It does more than just teach reading, writing and arithmetic - although the College is widely recognised for the high standard of its teaching in these and many other areas - but that alone is not the reason why so many parents and students are pleased to have chosen Downlands.

Day Students

Day students at Downlands are drawn mainly from Toowoomba City and some of the close outlying country areas. There are approximately 500 male and female day students at Downlands.

Boarders

The 240 odd Downlands' Boarders come from a wide catchment area including diverse cultures; within Queensland, other states of Australia and overseas. Downlands was founded with a special commitment to country families and those families with a challenge of distance and remoteness.

It is this commitment that makes Downlands unique with its understanding of remote families and the challenges that these families face in educating their young people. And it is with this in mind that we welcome students from families who live overseas.
