A Lourdes Hill College education epitomises the fundamental elements of a leading secondary school.
Through striving for academic excellence as part of a welcoming community our students are afforded a wealth of opportunities to thrive in a stimulated learning environment.
Students are challenged to engage in our Co-curricular program of Culture, Sport and Service with their wellbeing at the core of our holistic education.
Our students are encouraged to explore their unique gifts and talents and respect individual differences.
Lourdes Hill College has entered an exciting new phase in our rich history, with the introduction of our Junior School. |
|
|
The Junior School Curriculum is derived from both the Australian Curriculum and the Brisbane Catholic Education Religious Education Curriculum.
A key emphasis is placed on literacy and numeracy development, with dedicated time blocks allocated to these foundational areas on a daily basis. The units of work are academically rigorous, and additional support and extension opportunities are readily available to meet the diverse needs of our students. |

|
In Year 7 we begin by building the Foundations for Excellence. We have a comprehensive induction program to ensure the students are settled, make new friends and connections, and become comfortable with secondary school routines.
Year 8 is about Exploration and Experiences as students continue to learn within our connected Curriculum, balancing subject-specific rigour with real-life examples linking knowledge and big ideas.
As our students move to Year 9, and become the leaders of the Middle School, we encourage them to be Future Builders. They more thoroughly explore links in their learning and begin to look beyond themselves, considering innovative solutions to local and global issues. |

|
In Year 10 students are given the opportunity to explore a wide range of elective subjects. This provides students with insights into their learning strengths as well as providing experiences in new areas of study. We believe these opportunities will equip students to confidently choose subjects to pursue in Years 11 and 12 and beyond.
In Years 11 and 12, students may choose an ATAR pathway for direct entry to university or a VET pathway, which includes a combination of general, applied and/or vocational education and training (VET). |
|
|
The College’s Co-curricular Program challenges and inspires students to open their minds, develop courage and engage in high level experiences which promote artistic expression and forward thinking.
We foster creativity, collaboration and highly effective communication skills across the Cultural areas of the Performing Arts and Practical Arts.
Lourdes Hill College offers all students the opportunity to explore their creativity and develop self-expression. Each area within Co-curricular caters for beginner to advanced skill levels. |
