St James College

St James College (often located in Spring Hill/Boundary Street) was primarily influence on other institutions within the “New MBH Program” and Dr. Buch’s historiographical framework, such as Junction Park State School, St Joseph’s College (Gregory Terrace), St Laurence College, and St Joseph’s Nudgee College. The broader intellectual significance of the Christian Brothers in Queensland are founded inmany of these schools. For instance, St Joseph’s College (Gregory Terrace) holds significance for introducing “Newman Catholicity” to Brisbane, fostering a respect for modern higher education that counter-weighted anti-modernist hostility within the local church. Within the “New MBH Program,” these Christian Brothers’ institutions represent the institutionalization of the traditional outlook and the “craftsmanship of the reflexive insider,” where education is realized “in rebus” (in the thing itself) through a specific social and physical architecture.
