Lourdes Hill College (LHC) is located 5 km from the Brisbane CBD. The College is on the Brisbane River offering extensive views to the city and beyond.
Lourdes Hill College, founded in 1916 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, is a Catholic Day/Boarding Secondary School for girls.
The spiritual heritage of the College is premised on the compassion of the Good Samaritan, the Patronage of Mary under the title of Our Lady of Lourdes, and a strong Benedictine tradition of the Good Samaritan Sisters that emphasises a balance between spirituality and work.
Boarding at LHC
All international students at LHC are expected to be boarders. Students are provided with all meals, 24 hour supervision and additional tuition. The Boarding Community also provides girls with sporting, cultural and social activities which are of great value to all international students. Girls are housed in shared rooms in the Junior years and single rooms in the Senior years. Homestays are arranged for designated school holidays.
Lourdes Hill College Boarding Community provides international students with opportunities for interaction with native English speaking peers and to experience an Australian lifestyle. International students from the same country are also provided with the opportunity to interact in their own language, especially when they are confronted with the challenge of continually thinking in English at school.
Families will be required to supply items of linen, toiletries and clothing for boarding.
