Stuartholme School is a Catholic, day and boarding school for girls, located in Toowong, an inner suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Established in 1920 by the Society of the Sacred Heart, the school currently caters for approximately 700 students from Years 7 to 12, including 150 boarders.
Stuartholme is a member of the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA), the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Australian Boarding Schools Association (ABSA), and the Catholic Secondary Schoolgirls' Sports Association (CaSSSA).
Stuartholme is a part of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, started in 1800 by Madeline Sophie Barat in France. The school itself was established in 1920 by Archbishop James Duhig, at a time when Reverend Mother Janet Erskine Stuart was Superior General of the Society of the Sacred Heart, and this led to the school being named after her half-brother, Richard Wingfield Stuart.
During World War II the school was used as a hospital, and the students did their studies at Canungra and Southport.
In 1914 Mother Janet Stuart visited Brisbane to meet Archbishop Duhig and thought it was a good idea to buy the property to start a school in Brisbane. The order of the Sacred Heart came to Stuartholme in 1917 because the Archbishop had invited them to run the school.
