Brisbane’s Catholic Archbishop, Sir James Duhig D.D, founded St Leo’s College in 1917.

In keeping with the rich traditions established over 90 years, St Leo's residents enjoy a diverse and active lifestyle embracing study, cultural and sporting activities, spiritual dimensions, community service and a wealth of social activities.

From 1917-1934, Diocesan Clergy administered the College followed by the Vincentians from 1935-1953, the Jesuits 1954-2000 and by Mr John Long (Lt. Col. Ret’d) 2001-2003.  As with any living establishment, change is an essential aspect of our growth.  In 2004, at the invitation of the Bishops of Queensland, the College welcomed the Christian Brothers with Br Vince Skelly cfc as the first Christian Brother Rector.
