St Paul's is a co-educational private school conducted under the auspices of the Anglican diocese of Brisbane. In 2010, the school celebrated 50 years since its foundation. The school first opened on 31 January 1960. It is named after St Paul the Apostle and bears the same name as St Paul's School in London. St. Paul's School offers an academic and technical education as well as a range of co-curricular activities. It is located in Bald Hills to the very north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, bordering the Pine River and the Moreton Bay Regional Council.
St Paul's is composed of five sub-schools:
In 1857 the site of the school was first settled by British settlers. In 1859, the British colony of Queensland was founded. In 1886 the original wooden building, the Old Farmhouse, was built. It still stands today. On 13 February 1958 the Church of England acquired the property via a bequest from Sir Edwin Tooth for the "establishment of an all boys grammar school". The school opened on 31 January 1961 with a small staff of three and an enrolment of sixty-four boys between grades eight and twelve. Years later the school expanded its clientele and became fully co-educational. This allowed for a substantial increase in funds, which meant much-needed facilities could be built.
St Paul's Campus is located in Bald Hills, approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) north of the Brisbane Central Business District. The school is situated on the bank of the South Pine River, on the border between the Brisbane City Council and Moreton Bay Regional Council. The area surrounding the school is a mix of residential and rural properties.
The School occupies a single 51 hectare campus, which includes both the school's buildings as well as its sporting fields and grazing land. A pair of hoop pines which were originally planted in the 1850s are now heritage-listed.
