Mount Carmel College

CHARTERS TOWERS
BOARDING AND DAY SCHOOL FOR CATHOLIC BOYS

Conducted by the Christian Brothers

.

The College was established as a day school in 1902 at the request of
the late Fr. Comerford and for many years it was the only Primary and
Secondary School in the town. When the population began to decline
rapidly the late Dean E. O'Keeffe conceived the idea of a boarding school
for North Queensland with the result that M t. Carmel was opened in 1916
as the pioneer boardi1ng school for boys in the Towelrs.

For nearly fifty years the Christian Brothers have laboured in Charters
Towers for the cause of Catholic education and thousands of successful ex­
students look back with gratitude to Mt. Carmel where their early years
of education were spent.
