THE COLLEGE

At MBBC, the Primary School consists of Years Prep to 6, with the Primary School Years 7 – 12. As an International Baccalaureate World School, Moreton Bay Boys' College offers the great benefits of an internationally recognised approach to education. Our globally-focused syllabus helps boys connect with the world around them – managing, constructing and deconstructing knowledge and applying it to different contexts and experiences. Teachers use the Primary Years Program (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate to plan inquiry-based, differentiated units covering all aspects of the Australian Curriculum. Senior boys follow the QCAA pathways, with the majority of boys obtaining an ATAR.
