St Augustine's School History

Records indicate that a Catholic School was operating in Maryborough as early as 1854.

With the current St. Augustine's Church being built in 1869. We therefore have a rich history in the Central Goldfields area, with much of this being attributed to the Brigidine nuns who taught the children for many years. Today, our school is administered by laity whose mission is to teach the children the Gospel values of Jesus Christ. The staff aim to create a school environment which is curriculum enriched, child centred and community orientated.

Our school is named after ‘St. Augustine.' St. Augustine was the Bishop of Hippo, an African province. St. Augustine's vocation included this challenge to his fellow Christians: ‘Tolle Lege'. This Latin phrase is interpreted to ‘Take and Read'.  St. Augustine knew that the best way to Christ was through the Scriptures.

St. Augustine's School Maryborough continues to inspire the children to discover St. Augustine's invitation to take the scriptures and read them. Our school logo reminds us of his message, by illustrating an open bible.
