Lourdes Hill College, an Independent Catholic Secondary School for Girls, was founded in 1916 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan. In 1915 the Archbishop of Brisbane invited the Order of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan to establish schools in Brisbane. Thirteen Sisters travelled from Sydney opening convents at Bulimba and Coorparoo.

The rich heritage of the College is drawn from three sources: the compassion of the Good Samaritan found in the Gospels, the patronage of Mary under the title Our Lady of Lourdes and the strong Benedictine tradition of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan which places strong emphasis on education and the importance of balance in life between work, prayer and recreation.

Over the past 83 years Lourdes Hill College has grown into an educational establishment well respected for the pursuit of achievement and excellence in the education of young women. Lourdes Hill College, situated on the Bulimba Reach of the Brisbane River and set in beautiful surroundings, has a current enrolment of 930 students which includes 20 boarders.

Students from country areas and our international students, add a special dimension to the life at the College bringing different life experiences to their city peers.
