Marist Brothers College Rosalie Buildings, Catholic educational complex in Rosalie, Australia

The Marist Brothers College Rosalie Buildings stand on Fernberg Road in Rosalie, comprising a monastery residence for the brothers and school buildings designed by GHM Addison and Son with HS MacDonald, built by Dan Gallogly. The 1929 monastery housed the teaching brothers, while the school grew into a regional college with the 1949 Sacred Heart Memorial College serving five adjoining parishes.

Archbishop James Duhig bought the Herbert Estate on Fernberg Road and had the Marist Brothers' college and monastery opened there in 1929, the order's first school in Queensland. The monastery was built by Dan Gallogly to designs by GHM Addison and Son with HS MacDonald. The Sacred Heart Memorial College followed in 1949, serving families from five adjoining parishes. The school closed in November 2008 as student numbers fell, and the Marist Brothers and the local parish still use the campus.

The school drew pupils from Paddington, Milton, Bardon, Red Hill and Petrie Terrace: Anglo-Irish Catholic Australians, Aboriginal people, and later Irish, Italian, Croatian and Polish immigrants. The Marist Brothers and the local parish still use the campus after the school closed in November 2008.

The site occupies elevated land that shapes how you move through the grounds when visiting. Take time to walk around the buildings and view the layout from different angles to appreciate how the spaces were originally organized for teaching and living.

The 1898 Church of the Holy Rosary from Given Terrace was moved onto the Herbert Estate in 1918 for the Sisters of Mercy to teach older children, before the Marist Brothers arrived. Archbishop Duhig bought the Herbert Estate for the site, and the monastery was built by Dan Gallogly.
