The members of the Barrett Family are committed to a culture of inclusivity: one that fosters and nurtures the relationships between all students.

Barrett House was named after the founding Headmaster of the College, Br Joseph Barrett.

Br Barrett arrived in Australia in 1871 and was assigned the task of raising funds for new Christian Brothers' schools in Australia. He travelled vast distances on horseback in search of these funds and was met warmly by the Catholic community.

Originally sent to Maryborough in 1874 to investigate setting up a school, he met Bishop James Quinn, Bishop of Brisbane and was convinced that Brisbane was a preferable location for a new Christian Brothers' school.

As a result, on 5 July 1875 in St Stephen’s Church, Br Barrett began his days as a teacher. He remained Headmaster until 1881 and in 1885 he returned to Terrace and taught a young James Duhig. He died in 1921 at Nudgee College.

The members of the Barrett Family are committed to a culture of inclusivity; one that fosters and nurtures the relationships between all students. United by their values, they stand together with all individuals of Barrett, supporting and challenging each other so that they may become the best they can be.

Barrett House cherishes their relationship with their House Friendship Group, Strong Women Talking. Through this group they walk together in solidarity; a partnership formed through love and support for one another. Barrett strives to put our faith in action.

The Barrett community are supportive of seeing out the success of all students, academically and through co-curricular activities; recognising personal triumph and collective participation and challenging us to achieve the very best through our atmosphere of pride, where all are encouraged to participate.

A Kearney man, through his service of others, seeks to develop loyalty, trust and respect.

Named after Br Kearney, a Christian Brother who came to Australia in 1911 after his education in Ireland and served as a teacher and Headmaster in schools throughout the country until his death in 1964.

Br Kearney was a man of many talents, he taught Latin, French and had a good knowledge of Greek. He was an accomplished pianist and taught singing. Br Kearney penned the lyrics to the College song, set to the tune of Men of Harlech. This song was first performed at Speech Night in 1929.

Br Kearney was Headmaster at Terrace twice. The first time from 1925 to 1930 and the second from 1935 to 1937. It was said of Br Kearney that his discipline was his affection and this was returned by his students.

Kearney was one of the first Houses created by Br Magee in 1991.

Kearney House students have developed close ties with their House Friendship Groups, Milpera State High School and Welcome the Stranger. Connecting with migrants and those learning to live in Australia, Kearney students offer to walk beside our House Friendship Groups in mutual partnership.

The Treacy Man is a man of care, dedication, hope and purpose.

Treacy is a name synonymous with Terrace and the Christian Brothers in Australia. Br Patrick Ambrose Treacy was in charge of the Brothers who started the mission of the Christian Brothers in Australia in 1868. He sent Br Barrett to Queensland to open a new Christian Brothers' school and in 1875 authorised the establishment of St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace.

Br Treacy lived in Australia until his death in 1912. During his 32 years in Australia he authorised the opening of 26 schools. He embarked on many tours of Australia to raise funds for these schools and was well supported by Catholic communities wherever he went.

Br Treacy returned to Ireland in 1900 as a member of the Christian Brothers' General Council, before returning to Australia in 1912. Upon his return he was diagnosed with cancer and requested to spend his last days at Terrace. He died on 12 October in the Brothers’ residence, now known as the Treacy Centre. The room now bears a plaque on the wall to commemorate the extraordinary dedication of this outstanding pioneer.

The Treacy House motto is ‘Flying High”. This reminds each House member to set clear goals and work hard to achieve them.

In 2019, St Joseph's College, Gregory Terrace Treacy House students renewed their House vision. The leaders of the House wanted to ensure this vision guided and inspired students of Treacy House on their Terrace journey.

In consultation with Br Regis Hickey (author of the biography Br Patrick Ambrose Treacy), the 2019 Treacy House Captains came up with the vision of the 'Treacy Man'. This vision encapsulates the key characteristics and values of Br Treacy.

Windsor commit their energies, through both word and action, to the service of others in order to enhance a sense of community, connection and belonging.

The Windsor family has had an ongoing association with Terrace since 1924 when Dr Henry Windsor emigrated from Ireland and enrolled his four boys at the College. All four boys, Morgan, Clem, Harry and Gerard, enjoyed academic and sporting success during their years at school. Dr Windsor provided the College with the funds to build its first swimming pool in 1927. The pool was built alongside the Treacy Centre where the tunnel now sits and was of great benefit to generations of Terracians, especially in the summer months.

After graduation, Harry, Clem and Morgan followed their father into the medical profession. Gerard joined the RAAF but was shot down and killed over Norway in 1942. All four of the Windsor doctors were Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons. Dr Harry Windsor earned his place in Australian medical history with his pioneering work in open heart surgery, especially at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney.

While at Terrace, the Windsor family earned the reputation of students who were wholeheartedly committed to the College.

Endeavouring to emulate the example set by the Windsor Family, the students of Windsor House seek to create a COMMUNITY to which all members feel a sense of CONNECTION and BELONGING. A community, focused on serving and being respectful of others so that all may feel welcome and a sense of importance. Additionally, members of Windsor House seek to challenge each other to be the best they can be in all aspects of school life.

Windsor students are helped to connect and belong to the community through their House Friendship Groups, Youngcare and DanDaLion. Offering support where needed, Windsor students walk beside members of these communities in mutual partnership.

As a House, Windsor commit their energies, through both word and action, to the service of others in order to enhance a sense of community, connection and belonging.
