Supporting families for more than 150 years Catholic education has been part of the Wide Bay Burnett community since 1870, when our first school opened to support local families in Maryborough. From Childers to Gympie and many places in between, Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) schools have educated generations of students in welcoming, close-knit communities where every child is supported to achieve their best. Join us during BCE Open Week (27 April to 3 May).
