 Subsequently, a decision was made some 10 years later to relocate the college to Caboolture and to become a co-educational college.Founded in 1928 on an Albion hilltop site overlooking the city of Brisbane, St Columban's College commenced as another practical outreach by the Congregation of the Christian Brothers, in providing readily accessible education for young boys.The college developed a working-class identity with strong patronage from the racing fraternity, reaching a maximum enrolment of some 850 boys from Years 5 to 12 during the 1980s.
