Padua College is an independent Roman Catholic boys' primary and high school located in the Brisbane suburb of Kedron, Queensland, Australia.

At the request of Sister Mary Bernadette O’Callaghan OSF, the friars, who had taken charge of the Kedron parish since 1929, agreed to begin a separate school for boys.

Damian Nolan OFM was appointed nominal rector of the new school, which began with two lay teachers, Eileen Cameron and John Fox, and 89 boys in Years 4, 5 and 6.

In November 2006, former rector from 1990–2000, former chaplain 2000–2022, John Boyd-Boland† released his book On A Cragged Hill – A Fifty Year Story reliving the events and history of Padua College since its beginnings in 1956.

The College offers students the opportunity to participate in debating and public speaking events, chess competitions and music and drama programs.

Padua College (5–12 boys school), Mt Alvernia (7–12 girls school) and St Anthony's (prep–4 for the boys and prep–7 for girls) come together to create the FCIP, Franciscan Colleges Instrumental Program which is the major musical groups on the hill with many instruments to play and learn and there are many orchestras to play in.

All boys are encouraged to compete in the College's annual Inter-House Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals.

Padua College has its playing fields on a 73,000m2 site at Elliot Road Banyo for cricket, rugby and soccer.

Every alternate year the boys and girls from Mt Alvernia and Padua College produce a stage musical.

Recent productions have included Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Les Misérables, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Oliver!.

Other facilities the school features include: Padua College has an outdoor education centre called "Amaroo" at Pomona on the Sunshine Coast.

Amaroo is located on 68.8 hectares of lush rainforest and boasts luxurious facilities including a high and low ropes course and rock climbing walls.

In addition to in-school facilities and the Outdoor Education Centre, the school owns 73,000m2 of playing fields on Elliot Rd, Banyo, which is used for rugby, soccer and athletics carnivals.
