From the Principal
Welcome to Lourdes Hill College.
As Principal, I am dedicated to the holistic education of our
students. I believe education can create empowered, informed,
confident young people of faith and wisdom who are inspired
to walk purposefully to follow the call of Jesus to 8create a
better world.9
Our College has a strong faith tradition and deep connection to
our three stories: The Parable of The Good Samaritan, the teachings in the Rule of St Benedict and the
miracle at Lourdes. These stories inspire us to be people of kindness and compassion, peace, and
community, hope and healing. We are called to find inner strength in our gentleness and bring this to our
everyday lives.
At Lourdes Hill College, students learn in a welcoming environment that values academic excellence
and provides diverse opportunities to thrive. Our Co-curricular program in Culture, Sport and Service
encourages students to explore their unique gifts, respect differences and grow in wellbeing.
2026 is a landmark year as our College celebrates 110 years of educating Lourdanians and 100 years of
support from our Past Pupils Association. This milestone offers a special opportunity to honour the vision
and dedication of those who came before us - Sisters, staff, students, and families - each of whom has
left a lasting legacy and been a light to others.
Our 2026 College theme is 8Be the light9. Throughout the year, we will reflect on and treasure the gifts of
these people and of St Benedict, while looking ahead to how we, too, can 8Be the Light9.
See what we see at LHC, be a part of our community, and discover all that is possible at Lourdes Hill
College.
With kindness, peace and hope,
Mrs Kay Gleeson
Principal
