Relationships – the key ingredient in our school.

What is it that we hope our children will achieve at school?

For most parents, one of the key outcomes is that our children will be happy and confident in themselves, and in their relationships with others.

In supporting this objective, Moreton Bay Boys’ College places great emphasis on helping our boys learn to understand themselves, their emotions and their responses to the world around them.  We aim to help them use this knowledge, underpinned by the values of the Christian faith, to guide their decisions and manage their circumstances – whether it be to embrace new opportunities or to employ self discipline and resilience.

Our approach to Student Care also teaches the boys to look further afield than themselves – to those around them – and learn how to “read”, understand, empathise and respond appropriately and responsibly to others in various social contexts.

These skills are part of the MBBC boys’ Emotional Intelligence toolkit. Developing this intelligence is just as important for us as developing your son’s intellectual or practical skills, in our endeavour to give him every opportunity to develop to his personal best.

Our boys have the opportunity to inspire, influence and develop others as well as themselves, and contribute positively to the community. They learn to go beyond their comfort zones and to find enrichment and fulfillment in ways they may never have imagined.  They are taught within a context of high expectations, and engagement with the MBBC graduate attributes (Merciful, Independent, Resourceful, Respectful, Open Minded and Resilient).

Student care is core business at MBBC and we take pride in the relationships that we nurture throughout the College – with peers, older and younger students, with staff and the wider community.  It is our aim, that at the end of a boy’s journey with us, he can look himself in the mirror, and be proud of what is reflected.

MBBC places quality relationships at the very heart of what we do.
