A New School of Thought
There are many competencies and qualities
Brisbane Boys’ College seeks to instil in each graduate.
A BBC graduate should be a critical thinker and a problem solver; creative,
communicative and collaborative. He should also be curious, persistent, adaptable
and willing to take initiative. He should possess leadership qualities along with
social and cultural awareness. He should be able to love and be
loved. To be all of these things, he must first be ‘Confident’.
Where does confidence come from?
From a boy’s parents? Teachers? Faith?
Experience? It comes from all of these but,
most importantly, it must come from the boy
himself.
There is no one way to guarantee a boy will
grow into a confident young man. There are,
however, many ways to ensure he has the
best chance possible.
At Brisbane Boys’ College (BBC), boys are
instilled with the confidence to learn from
their failures, and try again. Confidence to
turn adversity into opportunity. Confidence to
know with certainty that, while they may not
be able to do it yet, they are developing the
skills to find solutions and strategies for life’s
many challenges.
Our world is changing at an ever-increasing
rate, with burgeoning technologies disrupting
almost every part of our lives. In the face
of this change, it has never been more
important to give boys a well-rounded
approach to life as part of their education.
This is an approach
BBC refers to as
A New School of Thought,
and it represents a new
way of thinking about
teaching and learning.
BBC’s innovative approach to education
integrates best practice teaching and
learning with the science of wellbeing,
placing an emphasis on equipping each and
every young man with the confidence and
capability to realise their potential.
By placing a student’s wellbeing at the
heart of its decision making, the College is
preparing boys for a lifetime of fulfilment, and
ultimately, success.
Many current school students are likely to
graduate into jobs and careers that have
not yet been created, placing an onus on
educators to embrace new ways of thinking
and be open to change.
By developing young graduates who not only
have strong foundational knowledge, but who
are also critical thinkers with creative and
curious minds, BBC prepares young men to
step confidently into life after school, ready
to make a positive contribution to society and
flourish in their chosen careers.
Brisbane Boys’ College is an independent
GPS school for boys from Prep to Year 12 with
boarding available from Year 7.
