Amazing results, bright futures
Brisbane Boys’ College continues its record of academic excellence with 21 percent of last year’s seniors securing either an OP1 or 2, including 19 individual OP1s and 16 OP2s.
Having developed a strong sense of social responsibility while serving as school captain, as well as an interest in foreign affairs through his involvement with BBC’s Amnesty International club, this year OP1 recipient Tom Law will commence a Bachelor of Arts/Law at the University of Queensland (UQ).
“I chose Arts/Law as it gives me a whole range of options, most of which I am yet to discover. I do however plan to major in French (which I studied for six years at BBC) with a view to working in foreign affairs,” he said.

For BBC’s Head of Teaching and Learning Mr Barry Dean, the results are reflective of the College’s philosophy.
“We take great pride in equipping students with real-life skills and encourage them to work independently and take ownership of their work,” Mr Dean said.
“Students are not taught what to think, but how to think; we don’t just teach to the test but rather focus on maximising a boy’s potential on every level,” he said.
“Our diverse subject and co-curricular offering, coupled with our extensive academic support programs, allows boys to discover their individual talents and interests and attain their academic goals.” |
