St Columba's Memorial School is a welcoming, learning, vibrant, faith-filled community. We endeavour to work together as partners in your child's educational and spiritual development. St Columba's Memorial School is a rural school situated in the southern section of the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. The school began in 1957 as both a day and boarding school for students from the Yorke Peninsula. Students were taught and cared for by the Sisters of St Joseph following the Catholic tradition modelled by their founder, St Mary Of The Cross MacKillop. We encourage a pursuit of excellence in academic learning and prepare students as future leaders. We celebrate students' successes encouraging them with challenges to greater endeavour.
