General Information

Established in 2003 MBBC is a P – 12 boys’ school set in the leafy bayside suburb of Manly West. It currently has 500 plus enrolments. At MBBC the Primary School encompasses Years Prep to 6 with Years 7 – 9 constituting Middle School and Years 10 – 12 comprising the Senior School. As an International Baccalaureate World school, Moreton Bay Boys’ College offers the great benefits of an internationally recognised approach to education. Our globally-focused syllabus helps boys connect with the world around them – managing, constructing and deconstructing knowledge and applying it to different contexts and experiences. Teachers use the Primary Years Program (PYP) and the Middle Years Program (MYP) of the International Baccalaureate to plan inquiry-based, differentiated units covering all aspects of the Australian Curriculum. Senior boys follow the QSA pathways with the majority of boys obtaining an OP.

 

College Vision

The College strives to be a leading internationally minded school that offers its boys an innovative, broadly based educational experience. Our philosophy is built on the foundation of Christian values and aims to develop each boy’s critical thinking and individual abilities, equipping them with the skills necessary to be successful, productive and responsible global citizens. In brief, Moreton Bay Boys’ College strives to develop our boys into young men of faithful service, leadership and integrity, while at MBBC – and into the future.

 

Relationship with Moreton Bay College

An historic turning point in the College’s evolution occurred on July 1, 2011 when Moreton Bay Boys’ College (MBBC) and Moreton Bay College (MBC) came together on the premise that they are stronger together. Governed by a joint Board and led by a single Principal with each school retaining its single sex focus and its own personality and attributes, both schools have significant strengths to offer the other and together have a unique market leading proposition in private school education.

We work together to harness our expertise, resources, knowledge, facilities and business functions to best effect. MBBC places a strong emphasis on moral education, with its MIRROR attributes for boys at its core. Accordingly, all employees are expected to model the same attributes of respect, care and courtesy for others in their dealings with each other and the College.
