All Hallows' School

About

A Catholic school for girls from Years 5 to 12.

Story

All Hallows’ is a Catholic school for girls from Years 5 to 12. Located in inner city Brisbane, All Hallows’ School is a community alive with the charism of Catherine McAuley and the traditions and culture of our 156–year history. Established in 1861, All Hallows’ is grounded in the Catholic traditions and values of the Sisters of Mercy, with Catherine McAuley as their founder. Catherine’s vision lives on today as the first girls’ school in Queensland and the oldest secondary school in the State.

As visionary leaders in education, we journey into the third decade of the 21st Century developing young women who are future-ready. We believe that our girls are best prepared by engaging in a faith-based, broad liberal education that provides challenging options and flexibility. From a multi-skilled and multi-disciplinary base, we foster the growth of highly developed thinking, strong problem-solving skills and the gift of personal reflection, enabling an All Hallows’ girl to become a skilled communicator in a global context. Our House based pastoral care system ensures that every girl is personally known, supported and nurtured and our vibrant parent community provides many opportunities for parental engagement in our community. Students experience and respond to an academically rigorous and intellectually challenging curriculum.

In the spirit of Mercy hospitality, we invite you to learn more about All Hallows’ School through our website, by visiting our School for one of our scheduled tours or by attending our Open Day held in May each year.
