Academic Excellence
The International Baccalaureate framework in Primary is aligned to our delivery of the Australian Curriculum and centres on inquiry-based learning. We want our girls to know more than what to learn, we want them to know how to learn and so the primary and secondary curricula build upon the girls’ natural curiosity, creativity, and develops their critical and problem-solving thinking skills which are imperative for the successful 21st century learner. The seamless transition to the secondary curriculum where inquiry learning and mastery of skills are furthered by specialist teachers, ensures our girls are prepared for the demands of the new Senior Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and its focus on eternal examinations. Yet we also recognise the myriad of pathways available to our unique learners and individualised learning plans support our girls on their vocational, certificate or diploma learning journeys.
Achieving her potential
Whether our girls want to be astronauts, actors or accountants, they need to know that nothing can stand in their way and we send that message to our girls every single day. We strive to foster in each individual a healthy sense of self-worth through encouraging the girls to take intelligent risks and to advocate for themselves. By giving them the freedom to explore their interests across any field, we can develop confidence through cultivating their competence and allowing them to experience success.
Leadership opportunities
We know that girls need strong positive role models to help them become their best selves and the beauty of MBC is that all the leadership roles here are filled by girls: from the Captain of the Touch football team to the College Captain; from the First Violin in the Orchestra, to the main role in the school production. Most importantly younger students see these female leaders and learn that girls can lead in any field.
Community engagement
In 2011 Moreton Bay College was proud to amalgamate with our nearby brother school, Moreton Bay Boys’ College, and today we are led by one CEO and Executive Principal under the governance of a single Board. Equally important to us as educators is our desire to work in partnership with parents and, our community offers many opportunities for parental engagement and involvement.
