About our school

n 2026, we proudly celebrate 110 years of educating and empowering young women. This milestone honours our rich heritage and ongoing commitment to developing confident, compassionate leaders who make a difference in the world.

What makes us truly special is the way we educate and nurture each student in the rich tradition of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan. Our innovative and future-focused programs support every learner’s unique journey.

We are firmly grounded in a strong faith tradition and deep connection to our three guiding stories:
• The Parable of the Good Samaritan, calling us to act with compassion and kindness;
• The Rule of St Benedict, encouraging peace, balance, and community life;
• The miracle at Lourdes, reminding us of the power of hope, healing, and inner strength.

These stories are more than history, they shape who we are. They inspire us to be people of empathy, courage, and purpose, bringing gentleness and strength into our everyday actions

Principal's Message

As Principal, I am committed to the holistic education of our students, shaping empowered, confident young women of faith and wisdom, inspired to follow Jesus’ call to create a better world. A Lourdes Hill College education reflects the values of a leading Year 5 to 12 school, where academic excellence is pursued within a vibrant, inclusive community. Student well-being is central to all we do.

Through diverse Co-curricular opportunities in Culture, Sport, and Service, students are encouraged to grow beyond their comfort zones, discover their passions, develop their talents, and embrace the richness of our diverse and supportive environment.
