Brisbane Boys' College

Brisbane Boys' College (BBC) is a non-selective independent school for boys from Prep to Year 12, with boarding available from Year 7. Our purpose is to produce men who have the confidence and capability to change the world. At Brisbane Boys’ College, we integrate best practice teaching and learning with the science of wellbeing, and in doing so, safeguard the most important ingredient to a boy’s success: confidence. It is a new way of thinking about the way we teach and learn, and at BBC, we refer to this as A New School of Thought. BBC provides a stimulating and rewarding environment, where an enthusiasm for education is valued. Academic staff enjoy a collegiality and a level of professionalism which attracts educators from across Australia and around the world. Staff are encouraged to be innovative, inspiring, nurturing and motivated to continue their professional learning through a generous Professional Development program that includes Harvard Teacher Scholarships and an Innovation Fund that provides seed capital for creative and/or innovative projects wishing to be undertaken by any member of staff. Academic staff also have access to an innovative Partnership Coaching model, which, in addition to regular Learning Hubs, provides teachers with collaborative opportunities to share their knowledge, ideas and best practice to continually improve their skills and impact as educators. Educational research indicates that the biggest impact on student learning is the influence of teachers. At BBC, we are committed to investing in our staff and their learning. BBC is a school of the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association (PMSA), a mission of the Presbyterian and Uniting Churches, and a founding member of the Greater Public Schools’ Association Inc (GPS).
