Brisbane Catholic Education

Brisbane Catholic Education

Brisbane Catholic Education is the educational Vicariate of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane, Queensland.

History

The institution now known as Brisbane Catholic Education had its seed in the first Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Brisbane, started by Mary and Michael Bourke in Elizabeth Street, Brisbane in 1845.

Schools were often independently set up by Parish priests within their own parishes, sometimes by religious orders, either at the request of the Archbishops or the local parish priests or sometimes independently under the charism of the religious orders’ own mission. Brisbane Catholic Education has been providing Christian education in a Catholic tradition for over 150 years and approximately 74,000 students have been educated through this system in that time. There are about 150 schools in the system, about 130 of which are owned by Parishes, 20 of the 150 are religious order owned schools.
