St Joseph's Nudgee College (commonly referred to simply as Nudgee) is a heritage-listed private, Roman Catholic, day and boarding school for boys, located in Boondall, a northern suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. 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).〔 〕 == History == Established in 1891, as the boarding campus for the Brother's flagship school at Spring Hill, Nudgee is a Catholic boys' school, and caters for both day students and boarders. The location for the College was selected by Rev. Br. P.A. Treacy, founder of the Australian Province of the Christian Brothers, at the request of the Archbishop of Brisbane at the time, Most Rev. Robert Dunne D.D.. Rev. Br. D.F. Bodkin was appointed first Headmaster. The main building, whose facade was used in the movie Phar Lap, was completed in 1891; the architect was Andrea Stombuco. The matching chapel was completed in 1916 and is used for weddings and funerals in addition to school celebrations. In 1993, after refurbishment, it won Royal Australian Institute of Architects Conservation Award 〔(Awards )〕 and Regional Commendation. A second school building was completed in 1919. All 3 buildings were in Italian Renaissance Style. In 1938 Nudgee Junior College was opened at a separate campus in Indooroopilly. Building has continued at Boondall, and the campus now has sporting and academic facilities including 2 swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, a 9 hole golf course, rifle range, full track and field provision and cricket and football ovals as well as several halls. In August 2008, the school was the centre of controversy when a 59-year-old man from Richmond, Victoria accused a priest from the college of abusing him and four other students who have since committed suicide due to the abuse. The school denied any wrongdoing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Joseph's College, Nudgee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
