Co-curricular Activities
A comprehensive range of co-curricular activities is offered for all students. Participation in co-curricular activities is expected, with involvement in physical activity important for the health and physical well-being of every student. The school recommends that every student be involved in a minimum of two activities per year as involvement allows students to gain a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction from individual and group or team activities.
There are 31 competitive and non-competitive co-curricular activities offered to boys at BBC in the Middle School. Sport, cultural activities, service and clubs offer students a broad range of experiences and opportunities.

Competition
BBC is a founding member of the Great Public School's (GPS) Association of Queensland which was established in 1918. As a member of this association, BBC participates in a sporting competition of a very high standard against the eight member schools for students in Years 8 to 12. Some sports are not run by GPS competition and in these cases BBC is a member of the Independent Schools competition. In the Junior School and in Year 7 students compete in the Combined Independent Colleges' (CIC) competition and Junior GPS activities.
