Governance
BBC’s operations and governance are coordinated in accordance with our parent organisation, the PMSA, and are guided by formal policies designed to ensure the best possible schooling experience for every student.
Every aspect of the College’s operations has been tailored and honed over our decades of experience to offer the greatest benefit to boys and their families. Through the efficient, transparent, and student-focused governance of every aspect of our school, we further our goal to give each boy the opportunity to thrive.
What is the PMSA?
The Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association (PMSA) is a joint mission of the Uniting Church of Australia, Queensland Synod and the Presbyterian Church of Queensland. It was likely one of the first inter-denominational school missions in Australia when it was formed in 1918.
BBC is one of four outstanding schools owned by the PMSA, along with our sibling schools Clayfield College, Somerville House, and Sunshine Coast Grammar School. The PMSA also owns and operates Rising Peaks, an outdoor education and experiential learning destination located at Lake Moogerah.
What is BBC’s approach to child safeguarding?
At Brisbane Boys’ College, our unwavering commitment to child safeguarding and protecting the welfare of the children and young people in our care is paramount.
The College utilises a broad range of tools and strategies to ensure the safety of our students is appropriately maintained and protected, including detailed policies, the appointment of Child Safeguarding Officers, and the developmentally appropriate Keeping Safe: Child Safeguarding Curriculum.
