Campus Minister - San Damiano College, YARRABILBA

As the first Catholic secondary college in the community of Yarrabilba, San Damiano College is perfectly placed between Brisbane’s CBD and the Gold Coast. Yarrabilba, as a master planned community in Logan - home to 45,000 residents on completion, is a vibrant growing community with a planned educational precinct within which San Damiano College is located.

The beautiful architecture of the college will cement San Damiano as a visibly Catholic college within the community and will complement St Clare’s Primary School located just 800 metres away. With adjacent council ovals and the college’s own oval, the school is well resourced with sporting facilities.

The college has opened in 2021 commencing with Year 7, and will grow one year level each year until Year 12. It is envisioned that San Damiano College will be a 5-stream school catering for 1100 students.
