About Moreton Bay College

Beautiful Location Permanent Position ABOUT US Moreton Bay College (MBC) and Moreton Bay Boys’ College (MBBC) are two separate P-12 single sex Uniting Church day schools. Governed by a Board and led by a single Executive Principal, each school retains its independent legal status, a single sex focus and its own personality and attributes. However, both schools have significant strengths to offer the other and together have a unique market leading proposition in private school education for families on the Brisbane bayside just 15 kilometres from Brisbane city. Moreton Bay College was established in 1901 as a school for girls from P-12 and now supports an enrolment in excess of 1100 students. With a focus on academic excellence, underpinned by a rich and caring pastoral program, MBC is the educational foundation for building perseverance, discovering courage and exploring creativity. With over 40 co-curricular activities to choose from, MBC stretches beyond the classroom and offers girls the chance to explore their identities, while harnessing success. With 115 years of history, the College is well established with extensive libraries, sports, state-of-the-art music and performance centre, an Olympic sized swimming pool and a chapel. In 2014, the College completed a state-of-the-art Science Centre, featuring eight laboratories, a growth room and four experimental investigation rooms. Moreton Bay Boys’ College established in 2003 to provide a boys-only school that could replicate the culture and ethos of MBC and provide an equivalent educational experience for boys in the local area. MBBC is an International Baccalaureate World school, which offers a globally-focussed approach to education that connects boys with the world around them. While still young in its history, MBBC campus is set among rich historic bushlands. Set within 13 hectares of native plants, MBBC has the perfect environment to foster learning. There are 5.5 hectares of nature sanctuary behind the classrooms, which has become a focal point of environmental science work. The developing College has award winning classrooms and technologically rich and supported IT laboratories.
