Principal’s Welcom e
Welcome to All Hallows’ School, a community alive with the charism of Catherine McAuley. Established in 1861,
we are the oldest secondary school in Queensland and the first girls’ school in the State. All Hallows’ School 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 we continue to serve the community through educating young women in a
faith-based, holistic tradition, to see each student realise her potential.
As visionary leaders in the education of girls in Years 5 to 12, we journey into the third decade of the 21st Century
developing young women who are future-ready. We believe our girls are best prepared by engaging in a faithbased, broad liberal education that provides challenging options and flexibility. From a multi-skilled and multidisciplinary 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 individually known, supported and nurtured and
our vibrant community provides many opportunities for parents to engage. During a time of rapid global social
change, we encourage compassion and empathy for others, an awareness that extends beyond our immediate
community and empowers our young women to define the role they will play in making a difference.
During your daughter’s time at All Hallows’ School, she will experience and respond to an academically rigorous
and intellectually challenging curriculum. She will be called to be the best she can be, and emerge with the
competence, confidence, compassion and conviction for which All Hallows’ women are renowned.
I am delighted that you are considering All Hallows’ as the School for your daughter.
May God bless you,
Mrs Catherine O’Kane
Principal
