THE boarding community has been at the heart of St Joseph’s Nudgee College since its founding in 1891.
For more than 127 years, Nudgee College has been providing outstanding care for boarding students from around Australia and beyond.
As one of the oldest continuing Catholic boys’ boarding schools in Australia, boarding is a part of both the College’s legacy and future.
The Bathersby Boarding Village is a contemporary and inviting home away from home for over 250 boarders from Years 5 to 12.
All boys are provided with an individual room to call their own, while also having access to several common areas for socialising with their peers.
The design of the Boarding Village brings together all four boarding dormitories, ensuring the structure of the facility imitates the inclusivity that is evident throughout the Boarding community.
The high quality of this residential facility complements the high quality of care provided by the professional staff.
Boarders are supported academically by the “Reach for the Starts” tutoring program.
During this program, teachers from many subjects help boys with homework, assignments and preparation for exams.
As a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice Tradition, the College promotes a holistic approach to education.
This includes offering a rich diversity of educational opportunities in the classroom, in co-curricular pursuits, as well as in faith development and social justice activities.
Nudgee College caters for students with a variety of interests, providing boys with opportunities to pursue pathways to university, vocational education and employment after graduation.
Boys have plenty of space to roam and play across the campus’ 136 hectares of bushland and ovals.
With Nudgee College located only 16km from Brisbane city, it is a great, safe place for country boys to orientate themselves to a large city environment.
