Visual & Performing Arts
MBBC offers a diverse range of cocurricular activities in the visual and performing arts.
Our programs are geared towards various age groupings and interests and include music (refer sidebar), drama, visual art, debating, public speaking and speech and communication.
Speech and Communication
We focus on the essence of effective storytelling and building characters. The second part of the year was devoted to the theme “Think on the Spot” – with students creating scenarios, building characters and storylines through improvisational games and activities, and learning the skills to create and communicate their ideas on the spot.
Drama
The boys represented the College proudly at the Wynnum Manly and Redlands Eisteddfod, gaining wonderful recognition and rewards.
Art
Art Club and Lunchtime Art Club enables supplementary art instruction and develops skills in cartooning, sculpture and painting, resulting in exciting works of art.
Public Speaking
As well as competing in Eisteddfods, boys in the Middle and Senior Schools can enter the arena of competitions such as Rostrum and The Moreton Bay Friendly.
Debating
MBBC fields teams in the Queensland Debating Union (QDU) competition, teaching boys about the complexities of debating, especially the value of meticulous preparation.
This year we are excited to have been asked again to host the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships. Last year, MBBC hosted more than 150 students representing 15 countries from Asia, Europe, Africa, The Middle East, America, Canada and the UK.
