The first Catholic school in Queensland was established in 1845 by the first priest stationed in Brisbane, Fr James Hanly who employed Michael and Mary Bourke as its teachers.The school opened with 56 students and was located in a slab-walled, bark-roofed building near where the Myer Centre now stands on the corner of Elizabeth and Albert Streets in central Brisbane.From that humble beginning, Catholic education expanded to most cities and many townships throughout the state. Its expansion was largely due to the efforts of religious congregations who in those early years often conducted classes in difficult conditions and with few resources.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.
