The girls beat Emmaus College 26-5, while the First XV beat St Brendan’s 43-14.
Six deciders were played at Rugby Park on Sunday, with honours shared by four schools.
The Cathedral College also claimed a double, winning the under-13 boys and under-15 girls.
St Ursula’s were victorious in the under-13 girls.
St Brendan’s won the under-15 boys in a canter, beating Rockhampton Grammar 52-5.
Centre Jett Day and fullback Riley Waia-Dau were in red-hot form, showing blistering speed as they bagged two tries apiece.
Waia-Dau’s first was a scorching 90m effort.
Forward Riley Wiltshire was another of the team’s best, putting in a commanding performance.
St Brendan’s head of sport Dallas Williams said the win was reward for the players’ hard work over the past three months.
He said it was also a great accomplishment for coach Daniel O’Toole, who had invested so much in preparing the team.
“This competition was a great opportunity for the boys to fine-tune their football skills,” Williams said.
“The majority of the group will now transition to rugby league, in preparation for the Cowboys Challenge next term.”
