New Schools

​​​​​​​​​​​​​Opening new schools in South East QLD

Brisbane Catholic Education has a network of 146 schools across South East Queensland.

Success in life is not only measured by how well we do for ourselves but, more importantly, by how well we treat and care for others. This is at the heart of Catholic education. 

The identification and location of new schools and colleges are incorporated within a strategic planning program employed by Brisbane Catholic Education. This program draws upon local and state government policies and initiatives that impact population growth, settlement patterns, infrastructure, and land development across the archdiocese. The values of our schools draw upon the richness and wisdom of Catholic tradition. We welcome all who share or seek these same values for their children. 

Proposed schools are developed through a process of Church and government approvals.

Please contact Assets and Infrastructure at (07) 3033 7000 for further information regarding new schools.​
