What makes a school more than just a place to learn? For generations of boys, St Joseph’s Nudgee College has been exactly that, a community and a second home. Established in 1891, this Catholic day and boarding school in Brisbane’s north educates over 1,700 boys from Years 5 to 12, including 310 boarders.

Rooted in the Edmund Rice Tradition and guided by values like Inclusive Community, Justice, and Gospel Spirituality, Nudgee College is dedicated to forming young men of strong character and compassion who live out its motto, Signum Fidei – a ‘Sign of Faith’.

At Nudgee, education goes far beyond academics. The philosophy of ‘One Boy, Infinite Opportunities’ means every student is encouraged to explore diverse pathways, from high-level academic programs and vocational training to sports, arts, and social justice initiatives. The school fosters growth through a nurturing environment, innovative teaching, and strong pastoral care, helping boys build confidence, resilience, and independence. The boarding community, based on Faith, Family, Courage, and Trust, offers a supportive home away from home. Together, these experiences prepare students not just to succeed but to shape their futures with purpose and heart.
