St Aidan’s is a Prep to Year 12 Anglican day school for girls located in suburban Brisbane.

The school’s population of around 900 students reflects our belief that students experience many benefits in a smaller school environment.

Our Junior School provides fully air-conditioned classrooms for girls in Prep to Year 6, including a “dedicated” Junior School Library.

Year 7s, while still leaders of the Junior School, enjoy a transition program and their own “precinct” adjacent to senior school facilities. They also enjoy specialist teaching lessons in much of their academic program allowing them a smooth transition to Year Eight studies (see curriculum). There are computers in all junior classrooms. Specialist teachers also work with students from Prep - Year 6.

School facilities include: five computer rooms, one of which is a Robotics laboratory and another for Languages other than English; laptops and computers are located in many classrooms (a total of 345 computers for student use); An air-conditioned library; Chapel; Music practice rooms and Performing Arts Complex (PAC); Fitness Centre; 25 metre pool; 16 acres of sporting fields; Arts Precinct and our 2003 built Science and Technology Centre which features a 200 seat auditorium.

Choosing a school is often a tough decision. There are so many good Schools; it forces us as parents to decide on what we want for our child. Do we want; single sex or co-ed; independent or state; church based or secular; big (1000) or smaller; suburban or city based? These are all important choices but what is vital, is to find a cultural match between the school culture and personality and your family values and aspirations.

St Aidan’s was established in 1929 by the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent (an Anglican religious order) and continues to hold their values and traditions. Our environment is one, which cares for all and seeks to provide a nurturing and supportive school experience where each girl is able to safely grow and evolve her gifts and belief in herself.

It is in this environment, we believe girls can study, achieve and succeed. Recent research clearly points to the vital importance of girls making emotional connections; feeling safe and confident in their school environment. In a school where each girl is known and cared for, where she is offered opportunities for leadership; for participation in extra curricula activities; for personal growth and the development of self confidence.

I warmly invite you to visit St. Aidan’s and I look forward to meeting you.
