Downlands College is a secondary education college on the Darling Downs, at Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.

Founded by the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in 1931, the college began as a boarding school for boys with a total enrolment of 68. Today, it is fully co-educational and enrols boys and girls as day students or boarders, from all parts of Queensland and beyond.

The College motto is Fortes in Fide, meaning Strong in Faith.

The College Badge

The Downlands Badge consists of a horizontally-divided field in College colours: royal blue and cardinal red. The upper of the shield carries a gold gryphon, and the lower half bears the Maltese Cross of the State of Queensland. The shield is surmounted by the heart crest with the letters SHC (Sacred Heart College) supported by rams' horns and ears of wheat, to symbolise the College's setting in the Darling Downs.

The gryphon emblem (half eagle, half lion) embraces the strength of the bird and animal kingdom and, together with the Cross, proclaims in simple design, the motto of Sacred Heart Colleges: "Fortes in Fide" Strong in Faith.
