**THE COLLEGE**

Moreton Bay College was established in 1901 as a school for girls from PP-12 and now supports an enrolment of 1150 students. The College offers a rigorous academic program as well as a very broad program in sporting, musical, cultural and pastoral activities. The campus is built on 19 hectares of spacious, landscaped grounds situated just 15 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD. Moreton Bay College is a school where every girl can develop her individual strengths and the confidence to make a unique contribution to the world.

An historic turning point in the College’s evolution occurred on July 1, 2011 when Moreton Bay Boys’ College (MBBC) and Moreton Bay College (MBC) became formally amalgamated on the premise that they are stronger together. Governed by a single Board and led by a single CEO/Executive Principal, each school retains its single gender focus and its own personality and attributes. Both schools have significant strengths to benefit the other and together have a unique market-leading proposition in private school education.
