Welc
ome to Our Lady's College, Annerley. It is with great pleasure and a deep sense of community that I introduce myself as Principal of Our Lady's College. As the proud product of a Josephite education, I am honoured to lead this vibrant and nurturing community. As we embark on this journey together, I am excited to build upon the strong foundations laid since our establishment in 1964 by St Mary MacKillop's Sisters, in the Josephite tradition.
At Our Lady's College, our commitment to excellence in education, captured in our school motto, Ad Altiora - Ever Higher, is unwavering and we strive to create an environment where every student is known, valued and supported to flourish. We believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to society. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure each student receives the individual attention and encouragement they need to reach their full potential. Our talented teachers display an innovative approach to education, providing students with a holistic education, comprising academic, cultural, sporting and social justice initiatives.
Since our establishment in 1964, Our Lady's College has been at the forefront of girls' education. Our practices support the academic, spiritual, emotional and social development of our students. From 2030, Our Lady' College will transition to a co-educational secondary College (subject to relevant planning and approval processes). This means that enrolment places for male students will be offered for the Year 7, 2030 intake. This transition to co-education will continue to build on the College's strong foundations, traditions and values with a continued focus on faith formation, pastoral care, wellbeing and the values and traditions that underpin the College community.
I am excited for you to meet our dedicated staff, become one of our supportive parents and most importantly, to welcome your child as one of our valued students. Together, we will continue to uphold the values and traditions that make Our Lady's College the special place it is.
Thank you for considering Our Lady's College for your daughter's education. I invite you to experience firsthand the passion, diversity, hospitality and excellence that defines our community. Join us on a tour of the College and see for yourself why Our Lady's College truly is Brisbane's #BestLittleSchool.
Ad Altiora
