St Paul’s School

St Paul’s School is located on the banks of the South Pine River in Bald Hills, a northern suburb of Brisbane. The centre of Brisbane is about 17 km away and is very well connected via the Caboolture line. The train station is close to the school.

The 51 hectare campus includes the school buildings as well as sports fields and pastures. A number of pines, originally planted in the 1850s, are listed as historical monuments.

Since 2023, St Paul’s School has had its new, large “Innovation Precinct” with its own learning area for the seniors, a sixth form library, classrooms for IT, canteen kitchens for hospitality courses and a new café. Video 5 gives a good impression of this.

The multi-purpose building “Walker Centre” is a state-of-the-art venue for sports, music, drama and events. It can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators and has a large stage with extensive backstage facilities for theater productions and musicals in a spectacular setting.

The music offered at St Paul’s School is among the best in Australia. From private lessons to choirs and ensembles, from musicals to sound and lighting, all music-related opportunities are open to students. All ensembles (orchestra, strings, wind, jazz and guitar) have regular performances throughout the year, including the annual Music in the Park event, assemblies, competitions and many recitals and instrumental concerts.

St Paul’s School is listed among the top 40 most innovative schools in Australia, and in 2017 it was listed among the top 100 most innovative learning organizations in the world in Cambridge University’s Innovation 800 series. In 2023, the school was again named Australian Secondary School of the Year (Private Schools category) at the Australian National Education Awards and was recognized for its innovation in the design of the learning environment.
