Our History at St Columba’s is part of a story that began more than 200 years ago, when André Coindre founded the Brothers of the Sacred Heart in Lyon, France. His vision was simple but powerful: to care for and educate young people, particularly those in need of support and guidance. That mission soon spread across the world. In the 1950s, St Columba’s became part of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart network. Today, we belong to the American Province, alongside ten other schools in various states of America and the Philippines. These deep foundations continue to shape our community and the way we do things today. From the very beginning, the focus has been on nurturing the whole child. That still holds true. While our approach has evolved with time, we remain rooted in the Brothers’ original mission, to offer a values-led education for all our students.
