About our school

At St James College, every student is known, welcomed, and encouraged to become everything they can be. As the only Catholic co-educational secondary school in Brisbane’s inner city, we offer a future-facing education deeply rooted in the Edmund Rice tradition of equity and inclusion.
With students from more than 60 cultural backgrounds and nearly 60% of families from non-Catholic traditions, Jimmies is a place where diversity is celebrated, faith is respected, and friendships span the globe. We are especially proud of our strong First Nations community, with dedicated staff supporting cultural learning and advocacy.
Our commitment to Global Learning, Achieving Aspirations comes alive through bespoke pathways that equip students for life: academic excellence, vocational qualifications, industry partnerships, and creative and sporting programs. Students from Years 5 to 12 enjoy specialist facilities including trade training, health and hospitality hubs, STEM labs, and a unique outdoor education campus at Maroon Dam.
At the heart of Jimmies is remarkable pastoral care, where wellbeing is prioritised, staff-student relationships flourish, and every young person is supported to thrive. With bold plans for growth and innovation, St James College remains faithful to its 157-year legacy, while inspiring the leaders of tomorrow.
