Catholic education at the heart of Brisbane communities Catholic education in Brisbane has deep roots, with St Joseph’s Primary School, Kangaroo Point, first opening in 1870. From these early beginnings, Brisbane has grown into the heartland of Catholic education in Queensland, with a strong network of primary schools embedded in local neighbourhoods and well‑established secondary colleges supporting students through to graduation. Supporting each school is a system of professional learning and capacity-building processes that puts BCE at the forefront of teaching and learning. Together, these schools continue a long tradition of strong foundations, academic excellence and contemporary learning, all grounded in close partnerships with families and local communities.
