Our
Guiding Philosophy
Guiding Philosophy
The
future isn’t what it used to be. Recognising that knowledge-based learning is
no longer enough, Brisbane Boys’ College focuses on teaching boys how to think;
not only to solve problems, but to recognise them in the first place. We
encourage them to question the status quo and solve problems to make the world
a better place. Not just when they leave school, but now at BBC. We know boys.
We know how to harness their energy, curiosity and thirst for competition. We
call this ‘A New School of Thought’. As experts in boys’ education, we
view learning within the framework of childhood development with our approach contextualised
by our guiding philosophy – ‘All About the Boy’.
