St Joseph's Nudgee College (commonly referred to simply as Nudgee) is a private, Roman Catholic, day and boarding school for boys, located in Boondall, a northern suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Some of the buildings of the school were listed in the Queensland Heritage Register in 2006.
In 1891 it was decided by the Congregation of Christian Brothers that because of the large numbers of boarders at St. Joseph's College, Gregory Terrace and insufficient room to house them that a new school be opened to cater for the boarders at Nudgee. Both schools share St. Joseph's College as part of their name and follow the Edmund Rice tradition. Nudgee currently caters for approximately 1390 students from Years 5 to 12, including 450 boarders. Tuition is offered to boys in Years 5 to 12.
St Joseph's is affiliated with the Australian Boarding Schools Association (ABSA), the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Combined Independent Colleges (CIC) and is a founding member of the Great Public Schools' Association Inc (GPS). Nudgee College is an academically strong school, with it receiving 11 OP 1's in comparison to Brisbane State High 51, Brisbane Grammar 49 and Gregory Terrace receiving 32.
